Product Description
A tremor of fear ripples through the population in the streets of Hong Kong. Word is out that a recent string of murders may have been committed by one of the very investigators charged with solving them. The police are bringing in more help. Behind the scenes, the killer is recruiting too.
In Deception: Murder in Hong Kong you were brought in as investigators attempting to find the truth about a murder, only to find the murderer was among the team of investigators! It was a race to find or conceal the truth as each side engaged in a battle of wits! In Deception: Undercover Allies, new roles give special powers to both teams. More cards in play increase the possible solutions to the crime, giving creative killers more opportunities to escape. Fresh scene tiles bring more life to the forensic scientist’s descriptions, allowing the investigators to hone in their focus. A new event challenges the already tenuous trust which exists among the investigators.
With so many new variables, both sides will have to find new ways to deal with the deception that surrounds them. Find out who among you can cut through deception to find the truth and who is capable of getting away with murder!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018To start off, I would like to profess my love of the original version of this game. When I first played this with a group of friends at a Christmas party a few years ago, it blew us all away. It's such an immersive and interactive party game unlike any other. It truly gets your methodical brain going for the good guys, and your game-face and acting abilities going if your'e the bad guys! I can't tell you how many hours upon hours I have played this game, and how many circles of friends I have introduced this to, who all fell in love with it just as I did.
That being said! After you play the original game so many times, you do kind of get to boil it down to a science. When you really have a firm grasp of all the different weapons and clues and scenarios, it becomes noticeably favorable for the investigators to narrow down their suspect and eventually deduce what the killer used for his or her crime. Eventually you start implementing house rules and game variants to try to make it harder for the investigators to catch the murderer.
IN COMES 'UNDERCOVER ALLIES' TO THE RESCUE!! Wow, what a breath of fresh air! This game adds just the right amount of elements I feel the original needed to keep it fresh, explore new ways to enjoy the game, but also keep the core elements of what made the original so great. Again the new roles add just the right amount of balance that this game needed to make it a much less one-sided game for the good guys. Not only that but because there are more roles to play, more people get a chance to interact with the game in their own unique way, other than just being a standard investigator like everyone else. Also it helps out a lot that they have added a bunch more evidence and weapon cards to the mix. I really feel like they hit the nail on the head with this expansion, as far as ironing out any problems the original may have had. Like I said, they added just enough new elements to keep it fresh, balanced, and unique, while still keeping the core of the game that makes it so much fun. I am truly a big fan of this expansion, and I can't wait to play it again and again with my groups of friends!
As far as the physical contents goes, there are a few things to note. One is that the role cards are all crispy clean fresh! Awesome, right?! Well, not so much if the original game you own is weathered and worn down, because now your crispy new expansion roles will be among your worn down original roles, and it might give away who has what if people take notice. An easy fix for this is to get card sleeves for your role cards. As far as packaging your new cards in with your original box, there should be plenty of room for your evidence, weapon, and role cards, but there seem to be a few too many clue tiles. You can still get it to fit int he box, but it's a little cramped, as the tiles will overflow a little bit. I believe the kickstarter box for the expansion is big enough. Bummer for those of us who didn't kickstart it though! It's not a big deal though.
Exclusive Kickstarter role** The kickstarter included an extra role that you can easily implement yourself. That is the "Clever Accomplice" which replaces the normal accomplice. The rules for the clever accomplice are the same as the the original accomplice BUT as an extra level of difficulty, the clever accomplice chooses a piece of evidence and a weapon from a DIFFERENT character than the murderer. If these 2 pieces are ever accused of being the murderer by someone, the murderer team automatically wins the game. So the idea is for the clever accomplice to choose 2 things that are very similar to what the murderer has, in order to get people to guess that instead. Pretty sneaky!!
Pros:
-More Weapons and Evidence cards
-More roles make it more fun for larger games
-Game Is much more challenging for investigators to win (It's a fair fight now, as opposed to investigators always winning)
-One of the best party games ever made
Cons:
-New role cards give themselves away in an old deck. You'll need card sleeves to hide this
-Adds elements that might make it TOO challenging for the investigators, but luckily there are several new way to tone down and adjust the difficulty.
-New tiles done quite fit in the box perfectly. Not a big deal though, just a little overflow
If you're a fan of the first game, or even if you've never played the first game, you will absolutely LOVE this game. Your friends won't stop talking about how much they love this game. So much more involved than your typical party game. There's just no end to the fun you'll have!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023This is such a great game, literally an absolute favorite to bring out in decent sized groups and this expansion just gives another level of depth to that play. More cards, more roles, easy to understand, fun to play. My *only* issue is trying to make it all fit into the base box.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024I played with some friends and it's super fun especially with the expansion. Witness roll really adds a new layer into the game
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020If you like board games that involve creativity and deceit, then buy this right now. I play a lot of tabletop rpgs and this feels like a way to scratch that improv itch while also being easily accessible to beginners/newcommers. The expansion is totally worth it, too. Those of you who are into true crime would enjoy this game as well. BUY THIS GAME!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2023Got this for our Christmas family game. Kind of disappointed to realize that this was just the add on to the original game. Ordered the original but haven’t gotten to play yet. I don’t remember seeing anywhere that this was an add on. Wish that had been clearer. I have been told that this is a fun game so I’m sure the add on would be great if you have the original!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024Package arrived in good condition. Well wrapped.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2022Honestly not necessary because of the amount of variability already in the base game, but doesn't hurt to have new items in the game
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023This is one of my favorite hidden role-playing games. This expansion brings more cards, which is a great investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best social deduction game!
We regularly play Avalon and we love it, but this just became our favourite game. It contains all the elements of a great board game in our opinion: zero room for chance, all strategy, each player has an important role and contributes to the game (you can't just have a passive role and surf on other people's skills), endless possibilities (even without the expansion), easy to get started and know exactly what you need to do based on your role.
On that last point, it is a very simple game to understand, but very complex in the way it plays out.
We are a group of 7 players (from 14 to 48 years old) and we all really enjoy this game.
4 people can play this game and have a great time but I think it is better when you have a group of 6 or 7 players (you have more roles, more possibilities).
I highly recommend it!
One thing to keep in mind: you can play

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite game
After playing this several times at family events, I had to own this game. The replayability is great! I’ve played with different people and groups of varying sizes, and the game is still interesting every time. It takes a bit more to understand the game play, and I’ve found that adding in the different roles in stages can be helpful.
