Goose Goose Duck: All Roles Explained

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction game like Among Us, or Secret Hitler for my board game lovers, that is growing in popularity. But, unlike those games, Goose Goose Duck makes things more exciting by introducing a myriad of special roles to spice up the game. These roles are optionally added to each game, but here are all of the roles in Goose Goose Duck.

Every Role in Goose Goose Duck Explained

For starters, there is the basic role of either a Goose or a Duck. Much like a crewmate or the imposter, the Geese are the players who are innocent and must work together to vote out the Ducks. The Ducks are fewer in number and need to kill each Goose without them catching on.

Those are the basic roles that every game abides by but the special rules provide much more than just crewmate jobs. Here are all of the special roles for the Ducks and Geese that make Goose Goose Duck very interesting:
