Trial of Lotus is a social deduction game set in a Chinese mythology-inspired realm, for 6–12 players.
Spirits of the forest are summoned to help Jade Lotus through a series of sacred Trials on her path to ascension. Each round, players are divided into Sun and Moon groups, secretly submitting Pure or Tainted Heart Tokens to determine the fate of each Trial.
The pure-hearted spirits must deduce who among them are the hidden shadows — deceiving, manipulating, and corrupting from within. The evil shadows, led by the cunning Black Fox, must taint the Trials and fracture trust before Lotus can ascend.
Every character carries a unique role and ability. Every Trial reveals new information. Every decision could change everything.
Only one side will shape the fate of the forest.
