Mantis Falls

Mantis Falls is a "sometimes cooperative" game with hidden roles, strategy, and deduction for 2-3 players.

As witnesses to something that shouldn't be seen, you must escape from the dark city of Mantis Falls controlled by the mafia. You will find that another witness will join you, and together you must use cooperation to survive the increasingly dangerous night journey. Your ability to cooperate with others could be your greatest strength, but what if it's not who they claim to be?

According to the hidden roles agreement, in each game there could only be witnesses, meaning you must all survive together to win. Or there may secretly be a killer among you, manipulating the situation cleverly and waiting for the right moment to strike.

The game Mantis Falls, inspired by the shadowy worlds of film noir, is a thematic journey that requires players to constantly consider the value of cooperation and the hidden danger of trust. Card management and face-to-face card play combined with opportunities for betrayal create a detailed mix of strategy, player interaction, and suspicion. On each turn, players make hidden moves and develop hidden plans, but they will also engage in thorough discussions as they talk tactics, defend choices, and bluff to protect carefully guarded secrets.

Mantis Falls is sometimes a game of competitiveness balanced with uncertainty and sacrifice, and other times it is a game of cooperation challenged by doubts and distrust. With caution, you may figure out which one you are playing before it's too late.
