Full details
The Traitors - Castle of Lies is an immersive social deduction board game designed for 4-8 players who enjoy high-stakes psychological gameplay and mystery. It perfectly captures the essence of the hit TV show, tasking players with either acting as secret Traitors or working as Faithful to identify deceivers through missions and intense deliberations.

FAQs
How many players do I need to play?
The game is specifically designed for 4 to 8 players.
Can I play this if I have never seen the TV show?
Yes, all necessary rules and mechanics are explained within the game instructions, though watching the show provides helpful context.
What happens if a player is banished?
Once a player is banished at The Round Table, they are removed from the game, and their role is revealed to the group.
Is this a cooperative game?
It is a social deduction game. While there are cooperative elements during missions to build a prize pot, the overall goal is for Faithful to uncover Traitors and vice versa.
How long does a typical game session last?
Due to the four-round structure, games usually last between 45 to 90 minutes depending on the group's speed of discussion.
Troubleshooting
Players are struggling to understand their roles during the night phase.
Appoint one player as the host for the night phase to read the instructions aloud and guide the Traitors' secret actions without revealing who they are.
The game feels too short or unbalanced for only 4 players.
Ensure you are using the specific rules for smaller groups provided in the manual, which may adjust the number of Traitors present in the game.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up for your game night, ensure you have a large table where all players can face each other, facilitating the 'glance-based' social deduction. Organize the game components into their respective mission decks and voting materials before inviting players to sit. The game is compatible with a wide range of social settings but works best in a quiet room free from distractions to maintain the tension. After use, ensure all cards are sorted and stored in the box to prevent wear on the edges. Avoid eating or drinking near the game components to keep the cards in pristine condition for future sessions.
