Secrets, intrigue, and general unknown information all go a long way to keep games replayable and unique. Here, I discuss the particular aspect of having a particular identity/role/ability that drastically changes how the game progresses.

Board games with hidden roles tend to be about powers and abilities. Getting them, using them, and keeping them. The idea goes a bit farther, however, and includes the idea of having some unknown team members, specific goals, and a few other aspects. It enables a lot more intrigue and table talk than other games, also lend more towards social/party type games to lean into the concept. It does run the gambit, though, from simple social games to complex strategy.

As always, though, I want to know what YOU all think about them! What're your favorite games in the category, and why? Do you enjoy hidden roles, or other hidden information in general? Let me know anything and everything in the comments!
