Y., <br /><br />This is one long and complex topic. :-) Let's start with lying in games. <br /><br />My view is if the rules allow it, or the spirit of the game allows it, it's fine. Anything goes. The "spirit of the game" bit can be tricky, because that can depend on how the players interpret it. It's a social contract between the players.

As you have brought up a game in which lying is a major part, I would like to take the opportunity to ask you for your opinions about a dilemma.<br /><br />I played card and board games with cousins, with a wide range of ages – some much younger than me (e.g. 3-7 yrs old), some up to 10 yrsChen J.

Or at least do it at the same time so that the king will get confused. I have read comments that in 10 player games where you have two traitors, it will be tough for the Templars. <br /><br />When my friends and I played, we discussed whether the game may be biased (aahh... the things Hiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-90785339862984120152014-10-26T21:12:26.036+08:002014-10-26T21:12:26.036+08:00I have always been fascinated by hidden identity d...I have always been fascinated by hidden identity deduction games. I prefer <i>Resistance</i> to <i>Werewolf</i>, because I don't like player elimination. So I was very excited to pick up <i>Templar Intrigue</i> when it Kickstarted, although I haven't had a big enough group together to play it yet.<br /><br />From your account, I'm a little worried that the game may be half-broken.
