Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

Gunpowder, Treason and Plot will be the second game published by Blackletter Games, coming to Kickstarter in 2024.

A 10 minute social deduction game based on the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605, this game will see players take on the role of one of the plotters who seek to blow up the houses of parliament, or work against them in this fast paced game of subterfuge.

Taking inspiration from classics in the genre, such as ‘Werewolf’, ‘The Resistance’ and ‘Blood on the Clocktower’, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot distills our favourite aspects of social deduction games into a 10 minute experience that challenges players powers of observation, teamwork, deduction and deception all while working against the clock.

Players are assigned a secret objective at the beginning of the game - either as a plotter, working to blow up Parliament, or an agent, who’s goal is to infiltrate the plotters and sabotage those plans without being detected.
