While I can usually find a lobby of strangers to have a good time with, there is no denying that this game, much like every other game of that sort, is the most amazing when you play it with people (you think) you know. The game is free to play, which makes it very easy to convince others to play with you. There is still plenty of room to lie and deceive and get away with killing. Basically it becomes easier for people to follow or make deductions, while not disrupting the balance between geese and ducks. Even though learning what each role does takes a couple rounds, having some limited but generally available information reduces the barrier of entry for people who aren't already familiar with social deception/deduction games. This mode, even though it says it's for advanced players, makes for a very fun experience especially for more casual or occasional players. Alternatively you can always pick 'random' which won't announce the role to anyone else and instead give you a completely random role.

Everyone will see the role that was picked, but since the order was rolled in secret no one else knows who picked it. In draft mode rather than having all roles assigned fully randomly, every player rolls a secret number which determines the order in which they will secretly be presented a choice between 3 roles of which they can pick their preferred one. The last major advantage GGD has over Among Us is the draft mode. While not all roles feel super awesome to play, they all have something to them that makes them unique and interesting and for some of them, simply the possibility said role could be in the game will have an impact on how the game plays out. Vastly more roles keeps the game fresh for much longer and the developers are still adding more roles as they continue to update the game. These roles give them special perks and abilities that can offer a strategical advantage and offer additional information to the player and even the players around them. Another huge improvement over Among Us is that GGD has a lot more different roles for both the geese and ducks. In a nutshell you can play the games in so many more interesting ways with proximity voice chat. You could chase someone and see if they respond with genuine panic. You could choose to share information privately with someone who you think is trustworthy and see how they respond. This addition alone adds so much more nuance and strategy to the game. So any time during the round you'll be able to talk to each other, but only if you're close enough to each other. Firstly GGD features fully built-in proximity voice chat. However don't stop reading immediately, as there are several things that I believe GGD does so much better than Among Us, that it's worth giving it a try. GGD is essentially a direct copy of Among Us, so if you hated that game and everything about it, GGD might be a tough thing to convince you to play. You might think you know exactly when they are lying, but in the end it could be the person you trusted the most who eventually backstabs you! The fun stems from your social interaction with the other players. Since you're pretty much always in a position where your knowledge about others is limited and/or based on who you think you can trust, an interesting playing dynamic evolves, where two people playing for the same team might have the same or very contradictory beliefs. The meeting gives players a safe time to discuss their findings with everyone and work out whether they have high enough suspicion to warrant voting out a person to be executed. Every time a corpse is discovered, players can call in a meeting.

Another way for them to win is by collectively figuring out who the murderers are. If all duties are done, the good guys (geese) win. These duties are essentially the time limit in which the murderers (ducks) need to get their murdering done. You walk around a map with a list of duties to take care of, which are essentially simple micro-games where you need to click or drag your mouse to do several simple things like clean a mirror or wash the dishes. In GGD you're either working together to find out who the murderers among you are, or you are said murderer trying to get away with it. For anyone familiar with the game Among us, skip to the next paragraph. Goose Goose Duck (GGD) is an excellent social deception/deduction game.
