EXCO 827 - DeceptionCo

1 credit
DeceptionCo will focus on studying psychological manipulation in a social setting. We will engage in social deception games such as Secret Hitler, Coup, and One Night Werewolf to analyze the various dynamics and strategies at play. DeceptionCo explores the intersection of psychology and game theory, and facilitates an understanding of societal interaction through high-energy, low-risk scenarios. This Exco improves students’ ability to strategize and read social dynamics, real-world skills that are invaluable in any endeavor that requires interacting with other people.
