Role assignment and kill information hidden

Hidden roles, ritual events, and item luck obscure truth.
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Among Us
Task routes and vent logic give small edges
Deceit 2
Objectives and tools form a small learnable system.
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
