The Grimm Masquerade

Players attend a cursed masquerade and are secretly assigned another character’s identity from a fairy‑tale forest. Each round players draw two artifact cards, keep one and pass one to any other player, using those trades to hide their true role or to expose others. Collecting two artifacts that match a character triggers a special action; collecting three artifacts of a character’s favor wins the masquerade. If a player is exposed by receiving two bane artifacts they become a Ghost: they continue to hand out artifacts and may guess the eventual winner to share a victory. Play ends when a player reaches three favor artifacts, is last remaining, or a player accrues three defeat tokens, ending the ball.

    Very light deduction family game. But you can't deduce much, and till it's your turn again someone else could already have deduced what you wanted. It's quite random because of the drawing of 2 cards.
