Trivian

Trivian is a social deduction game played with a deck of cards. The game's objective varies depending on the roles assigned to players, but typically involves a team of "Innocents" trying to identify and eliminate "Traitors" before the Traitors can achieve their own objectives. The core gameplay revolves around discussion, deception, and voting.

Players are secretly assigned roles, usually with a majority of Innocents and a smaller number of Traitors. Innocents aim to identify all Traitors, while Traitors aim to eliminate a certain number of Innocents or complete a hidden objective. During rounds, players discuss events or actions that have occurred, often involving accusations and defenses. Following the discussion, a vote is held to eliminate a player suspected of being a Traitor. The game continues until one side achieves its victory condition.

The game's mechanics encourage bluffing and misdirection from Traitors, and careful observation and deduction from Innocents. The element of social interaction and the potential for betrayal are central to the Trivian experience. The game is often played in groups and can be adapted with various rule sets and thematic elements. Its popularity stems from its accessibility and the engaging player dynamics it fosters.
