While it's a bit more out there in terms of play, I still think Trouble in Terrorist Town from Gmod deserves a mention. It takes the typical social deduction concept and sets it all inside of a first-person shooter. That alone adds so many twists to the usual gameplay. If the traitors want to kill someone, they have to fire a gun and make a lot of noise. Innocents can also fire on anyone they suspect at any time, but there's always the risk of guessing wrong and making yourself look very suspicious. Depending on your skills at gunplay, you could even clutch a game from a significant numbers disadvantage by simply fighting your way out from either side. Until one side is completely wiped out, it's always possible for either team to win.
For someone who hates these kinds of games Blaire just played a blinder on Blood on the Clock Live and Imp-erson. Got me onto this channel. Lots of cool videos and even some which I can really use, a couple of games I have on the shelf, never got round to, that hopefully I don't need to learn the rules because I just watch you play them, yay. Thanks for the great content.
16:25 Those Betrayal At House On The Hill character cards are MUCH better than the ones I got! I need to slide on 4 fiddly bits on each card to keep track of the numbers, and they fall off VERY easily. Where can you get these nicer ones?
I've played The Thing game (which, as a big fan of the film, I want to buy) and already own Secret Hitler. I've had so much fun with those two games! Once you convince your friends that Secret Hitler isn't as horrible as it sounds, they'll all love it! Lol I've also played the One Night Ultimate Werewolf version of Werewolf, but it didn't have nearly as much fun with it as with the other two games.
Merlin and assassin were added to the resistance too. Not sure if they were just promo releases or added in a re-release but I have played with them in the resistance. Definitely adds a whole other layer to the game.
Yeah the hidden agenda expansion plus the latest version of the Resistance literally has all the Avalon features but with a much better theme imo. Plus there's 2 other expansions for it.
I don’t particularly like the one night mechanic of werewolf I think there’s fun to be had with murders happening after deliberation meetings Do you as the killers go after the person who was voting for you to be exposed, or do you used reverse psychology and take out the innocent who you convinced through your deceptions
I got a copy of "Secret Hitler" recently and it has become a hit in the sixth form common room. Who knew weeding out the fascists could be so thrilling.
There is a game I play like Avalon called Battlestar Galattica. Traitors being the Cylons. Every game ive played has came down to one final dice roll between winning or losing.
I was playing Secret Hitler, and one of the women on the fascist side actually sabotaged her own team and lost them the game because she didn't like fascists and didn't want to be one.
In my experience, the more the good team think they know the more fun social deduction is for everyone. By modern standards I don’t think werewolves is a very good game, because it inevitably evolves into screaming matches because you can only go on social tells, but in something like clocktower, where you can build your aqusations or deception on information it is much easier for everyone to be involved and play.
And in the Resistance / Avalon, every fail for the good guys is almost always guaranteed information as the list of potential evil players is whittled down
@@lycanthewerewolf6801 I used to think this but since binging their Blood on the Clocktower playlist I think that's a better game. I would recommend people watch that, although the game is super pricey you can find games online.
I once got killed off in a game of Werewolf. Unanimous vote, villagers AND werewolves.
Which was doubly impressive, as I was the Moderator.
Thats... thats some *big brain time*
They thought it was an Atheist game.

Blair "I do not like social deduction games" Shepperd
Known as one of the stars of "No Rolls Barred"s social deduction game episodes.
Laurie lies? Impossible he's just so trustworthy
-Everything will be FAKID-
err i mean Laurie must be so bad at these games. i cant imagine him telling a lie even if his life depends on it!
13:36 - 13:40
I love and hate you for that pun Laurie... Its mostly hate, sprinkled with a little bit of love.
I really like how you mentioned traitor mechanic games
I’m a big fan of betrayal at the house on the hill
Ah, Werewolf. Such an awesome game. Played it so much, never gets old. Absolute staple of science-fiction conventions.
Decided to give this channel a shot, didn't regret it.
Blaire: Social deduction makes me so anxious, I don't like them!
NRB: Hey guys let's play Blood on the Clocktower again!
You monsters.

Blaire also played amazing on their Leviathan game (titled "The Unbearable Madness of Being"), check it out if you haven't, it's hilarious
@@emisor9272 that Leviathan game was the greatest Clocktower game I have seen in all the vids they have done, hands down no other comes close

Fun to watch Laurie 3 years on and dozens of social deduction games later!
17:49
This is genius
It’s almost like
4th wall breaking
The knights then murdered the storyteller

I hate how much I laughed at the battlestar gaff 😂
don't be silly laurie you can't be the werewolf. werewolves have hair :P
can we please get wrestletalk among us
Mafia sounds like the board game version of Among Us. EDIT - and then he brings it up, lol
A good game that's taken social deduction games up a notch is blood on the clocktower
Blair swears on her pet's life.
I don’t particularly like the one night mechanic of werewolf

Do you as the killers go after the person who was voting for you to be exposed, or do you used reverse psychology and take out the innocent who you convinced through your deceptions
"Adam blampied is the greatest youtuber of all time"
Me: he is tho...he really is
Merlin is also in The Resistance expansion. In fact, The Resistance expansions add a lot more variety compared to Avalon.
Watching this as the imposter on Among Us. As im writing this I just won by blaming someone else lol.
Mafia is definitely my favorite to play. Would love to play blood on the clock tower

I came here just for El Fakeador!
I'd be really interested in games for two people, something to play with your partner in Covid isolation .
I'd suggest "Inhuman Conditions" - a 2-player social deduction game.
Favorite social deduction game: probably Among Us or Werewords
I was playing Secret Hitler, and one of the women on the fascist side actually sabotaged her own team and lost them the game because she didn't like fascists and didn't want to be one.
Wait his name is not Laurie???
I'm a bad lier. GOT YOU! BOOM!!!
CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!
Does Denise know about Laurie's secret?
Town of salem is the og version

That, that is bull****.
Avalon seems boring to me tbh, I must have played 2,000 rounds of One Night Ultimate Werewolf and it's brilliant.
ONUW is the best game I know.

10 best social deduction games???
Guessing that will be the next video on the channel. So far each of these videos is followed by a top 10 video of that game genre.
First
