Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 6.5 out of 10

    Ok game. App deals are an interesting and fun gimmick, but nothing more. Different roles are ok, hiding them adds a somewhat superflous layer, since the consequences of witch hunt or blame game are marginal. In the end, it is just another "collect resources to build VP"-game. Additionally, it very much depends on all players being equalliy skilled, since to good of a deal can easily result in kingmaking, while bad offers (in the beginning of the game) tend to cripple players (esp. mortals).

  2. 6.9 out of 10

    The app for the trades/exchanges is really good and only in the background. The game itself feels very tight and when you are a simple human it seems quite difficult to beat the cultist and the devil. In the end I was like "OK", nothing really stands out apart from the exchange trick, I think to get to the full potential of the game, you would need to play several games with the same group of people to find the right balance in the exchange proposals.

  3. 8 out of 10

    amazing first impressions. Cannot listen to reviews of people who played it once or twice. It obviously requires experience among ALL players in the table..Very promising. The puzzle part is trivial, even less than Alchemists: this is a trap for the puzzle lover community

Be the first to review “Deal with the Devil”

Deal with the Devil is a deeply thematic competitive Eurogame set in a fantasy medieval era. Each of the four players takes on a secret role of a mortal, a cultist, or even the Devil. Due to the asymmetrical roles, players experience the same game but with different game goals every play.

During the blind trading phase, players can offer their resources in exchange for money from another player. The Devil will tempt mortals with goods for a piece of their soul, while the cultist’s nature is to sell their soul easily. Only the accompanying app knows who is trading with whom.

But beware! Showing off how well you are doing can attract unwelcome attention and the suspicion of other players. It also may pique the interest of the Inquisition, which is eager to punish those who cannot prove their souls remain intact.

There are many dynamic strategies to experiment with across each playing. Will you sell pieces of your soul early on to boost your city-building prowess at the risk of future punishment from the Inquisition? Or will you carefully manage loan and debt repayment while waiting for others to inadvertently reveal their nefarious nature? Every choice has a consequence, and each role has its own unique strategic approach to explore.
