Since there is a 50% chance that everyone can win, probably not the best social deduction game.

What if: When aliens do Not Exist, there is a Serial Killer who only wins if the Humans vote that Aliens Do Exist (as the Alien Activity and Delta Green's response would cover up their crimes, otherwise the civilian authority will inevitably catch them with Delta Green's extra info).

Although, this does point out a problem with the game... Hm, I think maybe the rules might have to change next time to fix it... It's a neat strategy that I didn't think of, so maybe we'll have to give some more counterplay for the Aliens. I'll think about what could change.

I think in the 'aliens exist' world the human players winning as a team is fine, but in the 'aliens don't exist' world it might work better if players won and lost individually to discourage exactly this sort of strategy.

I thought about this a bit more after making this suggestion.

I think the game would be even more interesting (and stressful) if in the 'aliens don't exist' world the human players can only win if the human players vote unanimously that aliens don't exist. And if there was a deadline.

That way in both the aliens exist and aliens don't exist world there are players who aggressively push for the non existence of aliens.

Also, I think a moderator is valuable to announce stages of the game and keep things moving along. We spent a bit of time waiting in this game we probably didn't need to.

Gotta say , to say Momoba took a bigger backseat in this than I expected , would be an understatement .

. . .

Was different though, which was neat!
