Here at Back alley Games, we don't just work on Role-Playing Games. There are a couple of card games in the works. One of them we are calling for the time "Secrets In Space".
The game is semi-cooperative in that everybody has to work together to survive a catastrophe on a space ship, but also are trying to undermine everybody and discover the secrets that make their job harder.
This will be a six-player game, each player taking a role on the ship, usually a low ranking member of the crew in different parts of the crew. Each player will be dealt a random secret that will inform their gameplay. Then everybody determines a catastrophe, and the game starts. You are all the only survivors of the situation, and you need to repair the ship and get back home.
The secrets in the game will include a romance with the captain of the ship, a saboteur, not qualified for their job, and more. Each secret has rules on how you should play to avoid being found out, but then rules on what you AND the other players should play once you are found out. For instance, the saboteur has to play repair cards incorrectly, but after has to play the correct repair cards and offer help every time possible. Players are instructed to take that players assistance only if there are no other players offering help.
Every player will have a specific position on the ship, like medial team, engineering team,
