Truth And Deception

Truth And Deception is a strategic two-player game that challenges players' abilities to discern truth from deception. The game involves two roles:

• Deceiver (Player 0): Knows which of the two presented facts is correct and aims to convince the Guesser to choose the incorrect one.
• Guesser (Player 1): Engages in a conversation with the Deceiver and must determine which of the two facts is correct based on the interaction.

Actions are strings representing messages exchanged during the conversation, with special tokens used during the guessing phase.

Special Tokens:

• [Fact 1]: The guesser selects the first fact as correct
• [Fact 2]: The guesser selects the second fact as correct

Example Actions:

• "You know, lightning is a fascinating natural phenomenon. There's this popular belief that [...]"
• "I believe fact 1 is correct. [Fact 1]"

Players receive observations based on their roles, helping them make informed decisions throughout the game.
