Games like Cover Up

Looking for games like Cover Up? It's a duel in the truest sense, every decision weighed against a single opponent across the table. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate.
