Shadow Raiders

Players are secret members of one of three factions—Shadows, Raiders, or Citizens—and try to achieve their faction’s win condition while keeping their identity hidden. Gameplay mixes hidden roles, deduction, and asymmetric powers: players take actions, use special abilities, and draw Hermit cards that can reveal information or change dynamics. Allies are revealed through actions or cards, and strategic disclosure can be used to trigger abilities or mislead opponents. Victory depends on identifying allies and enemies and exploiting abilities; characters can sometimes win even after being eliminated. This edition adds more character options and tweaks to the original mechanics.
