Mantis Falls
As witness to something not meant to be seen, you must escape the dark mob-ruled town of Mantis Falls alive. You are told another witness will join you, and together you must use cooperation to survive the increasingly dangerous roads of the night. Your ability to work with another could be your greatest strength, but what if they are not who they claim to be?
Mantis Falls is a “sometimes cooperative” game of hidden roles, strategy and deduction for 2-3 players. It is a thematic journey that requires players to continually weigh the value of cooperation against the implicit perils of trust.
Gameplay
Each game could have only witnesses, meaning you must all survive together to win. Or there could secretly be an assassin hidden among you. They will subtly manipulate the situation and wait for the right moment to strike. At every turn, players make concealed moves and develop hidden plans. Throughout the game you will also have thorough conversations and discuss tactics. You have to defend your choices and bluff to protect carefully guarded secrets.
Summarize
Mantis Falls is inspired by shadowy film noir worlds. Sometimes it’s a game of competition balanced with indecision and sacrifice. Sometimes it’s a game of cooperation challenged by doubts and distrust. With care, you may figure out which one you are playing before it’s too late. Hand management and facedown card play combine with opportunities for betrayal to create a detailed blend of strategy, player interaction and suspicion.
