Trial of Lotus társasjáték

Angol leírás

Trial of Lotus is a social deduction board game for 6-12 players, inspired by Chinese mythology. Players are secretly assigned roles as spirits of the Forest who support Jade Lotus, or shadows who follow the Black Fox.

Players play through up to 6 trials, divided into random groups via sun/moon token draws that shuffle every two trials. Each round, players secretly vote with pure or tainted hearts — the revealed results decide whether a trial is purified or tainted. The good spirits must purify the trials while the shadows aim to taint them or conceal their identity. Players may spend a Rubi token to propose swapping participants in a trial group.

After 4 trials, the table must eliminate one player during the Cleanse Ritual before proceeding to the aftermath — 2 more trials if necessary, or the Fox's Last Strike, where the Black Fox attempts to assassinate Jade Lotus. Both factions race to win 4 trials while protecting their leaders from elimination.

The game features Art Nouveau illustrated character cards with 12+ unique roles, each with distinct abilities rooted in Chinese folklore and mythology.

Similar in structure to Avalon, but with randomized group mechanics and a unique heart-voting system that creates new information dynamics.
