With the BBC's hit show The Traitors making its dramatic return to screens on New Year's Day, board game enthusiasts are seizing the chance to bring the deception home. Amazon has launched a significant limited-time discount on the official board game, cutting the price by 35%.
A Deal Fit for a Faithful (or a Traitor)
The Goliath Games Presents: The Traitors - Official Board Game, which normally retails for £28.99, is now available on Amazon for just £18.98. This substantial saving comes just as host Claudia Winkleman returns to preside over a new series of the nail-biting reality competition, sparking renewed interest in the tabletop adaptation.
The game immerses players in the same tense social deduction format as the television programme. Participants are secretly assigned roles as either Faithfuls or Traitors, with missions to complete to build a prize fund. The Traitors must work to earn the right to 'murder' at night, while all players debate and vote at the Round Table to banish suspected deceivers. Ultimately, the two players with the most gold compete for the entire prize fund.
What Players Are Saying
Holding a 4.3-star rating on Amazon, the game has garnered largely positive reviews from customers who have already experienced its blend of strategy and chaos. Many highlight its entertainment value, though some note a learning curve.
Luke advised that the game needs someone to take on the role of host, much like Claudia, which he found fun in itself. He described it as "very entertaining," adding, "this game will make you laugh a lot.....the more players the better and be prepared to run around your house screaming." He did caution that the instructions require careful reading to grasp each phase of the game.
Other reviewers echoed the sentiment. Matt called it "so much fun for all" and "very engaging," while Karen praised it as "such good fun" and a "must have for any family game day/night," noting it was easier to understand than expected for her family. Abraham simply stated it was a "fun game for a fan of the show," albeit slightly complicated to work out.
However, not all feedback was glowing. One critical customer claimed the game could only be played six times and found it "really hard to understand," suggesting it might take several attempts to get the rules right.
More Gaming Options Available
For those looking for other entertainment, Amazon is also selling the Traitors: The Official Interactive Game Book for £8.99. Elsewhere on the high street, shoppers can find the Ideal 1% Club Board Game for £20 at Argos, the Ginger Fox Taskmaster Game for £25 at John Lewis, and the Race Across The World Game for £18.99 at The Range.
The discounted The Traitors board game at £18.98 offers fans a chance to replicate the show's thrilling blend of trust and betrayal in their own living rooms. With the new series now airing, this deal is likely to attract both dedicated followers and newcomers eager to test their own skills of deduction and deception.
