Semi-Cooperative Games

In this type of game, most of the players are working together to play against one player. This can be done in a number of different ways and some of them overlap:

  • “One vs many” games where one player is set against a group of players working cooperatively
    • Example: Descent 
  • “Traitor” where one or more players secretly turns on a group that had been working together
    • Example: Betrayal at the House on the Hill (usually)
  • “Secret Agenda” where players are all working together on the surface, but have a hidden goal that determines whether they individually win or lose
    • Example: Dead of Winter (can also have traitors)
