Gathering of the Wicked

Gathering of the Wicked is a social deduction game inspired by Werewolves of Miller's Hollow, but with a magical Disney twist. Players take on classic villains like Maleficent, Hades, or Captain Hook, gathering in a dark realm to outwit other evil characters. The game alternates between day and night phases: at night, villains use unique abilities to pursue objectives, while during the day, players debate and try to uncover traitors. The twist is that everyone knows each other's roles, but each character has a secret alignment determining their true goal. This creates an atmosphere of mistrust and bluffing, where no one can fully trust anyone. The Disney theme makes it perfect for fans of party games and those who enjoy dark humor. Rules are easy to grasp, but the strategy of manipulation and deduction keeps the game engaging. While based on a familiar concept, the combination of Disney characters and a gothic setting gives it a fresh feel. Ideal for groups wanting something between a board game and a party game, with a balance of social interaction and simple mechanics. The light weight and 30-60 minute playtime suit short sessions. The high Ludopedia rating (8/10) reflects the fun it delivers, even with a concept already explored in other games.
