cooperative survival + hidden hands

curated example games checked against BoardGameGeek's tags on 16 October 2026 not checked yet

Teammates hide cards to fight shared threats, but must share info carefully to survive together.

What it brings

  • Prevents alpha gaming where one player bosses everyone.
  • Forces real teamwork through trading and requests.

What it costs

  • Poor communication leads to failed plans easily.
  • Hand limits create tough choices on what to share.
