A secret-identity card game where you're always one step from being unmasked.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy social deduction and bluffing layered onto a card game, especially at higher player counts where the guessing gets messier.
Not for you if…
You dislike hidden-information games or find deduction stressful — Hidden Leaders leans hard into not knowing who's really on your team.
Vibe's take
Tense and social — you're reading faces and card plays as much as the tableau itself, with no dead turns and a constant push to figure out who's secretly on your side.
Hidden Leaders casts you as one of six secret heirs to a shattered throne, each secretly allied with two of the four warring factions. You play hero cards into your tableau — openly or face-down — nudging the conflict toward the outcome that favors your hidden allegiance, while trying to read who else is pulling strings against you.
