Samson and Delilah is a fast, asymmetric, social deduction and drafting game for two players. Delilah helps both Samson and the Philistines but whose side is she on? Will Samson be strong enough to win the fight or should he flee instead? The goal of Samson is to defeat the Philistines. The goal of Delilah is to either aid Samson in defeating the Philistines or trick Samson into believing she is aiding him but secretly working against him. If she has 2 or 3 locks of hair, she is on Samson's side. 1 player must be Samson. The other is Delilah. Each players character faces them. Shuffle the 18 card deck and place it between the players.
