We love deduction games here at the Dojo so we were excited to try out a new deduction game from Hong Kong at Essen. Learn how to play and if we think it's worth your hard-earned money to import or not!

I picked up my copy at Essen as well last year. It has been one of my favorite deduction games amongst my family.

Thank you for another interesting upload!

You should get a sales commission, as your superb review of Infiltraitors prompted me to place an order for the game just now. So thank you! Also wanted to say that I only recently discovered your TH-cam channel and it has quickly become one of my go-to sources for information about card and board games. All of your reviews are extremely well thought out - thorough, organized and articulate and together provide a highly accurate depiction of the character, strengths and weaknesses of the games you review. Oh and by the way, I totally agree with your mystification as to how in the world anyone would think that Infiltraitors and The Crew are similar.

Well you made me blush ☺ Thank you so much for the kind words and I hope you enjoy Infiltraitors as much as we have! Have a wonderful New Years :)

I think the most similar to Infiltrators I’ve played is Paint the Roses!

[@TheBoardGameDojo]

Yes for sure! Deduction!

Thank you so much for the informative review! I’ve had my eye on this game ever since No Pun Included gave it their award for the best game at Essen Spiele 2023. I’m really hoping a US publisher picks this up for US distro, because I can’t seem to find an online retailer who is selling this, and the publisher’s website only ships it to Chinese customers ATM. Do you know any other sites that this can be imported from?
P.S. I love your channel! Ever since I found you after searching for info about Ito I’ve become a big fan. Keep up the great work! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Hello!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! And let me just say thanks for being a part of the Dojo :)
I know that there have been some stores in Europe that I've heard are taking preorders so I think it's one of those where it's coming soon depending on the country. If I find out more concrete info I'll leave it on this comment so you know!
