I picked up Hail Hydra out of curiousity a while ago and have only had enough friends around that wanted to play it twice. It's somewhere between Avalon/The Resistance and Secret Hitler in terms of gameplay, but feels incredibly skewed in favour of the Hydra agents from what we've played. Has anybody else played it enough to give more insight into how a meta has evolved that gives the heroes a higher win rate? Not sure I can recommend based on the games I have played but I'm keen to explore it more so I can be wrong in my assessment.

That was our assessment too, but part of me wants to play it enough to see if there's any unique quirk to it but I really don't think there is one I think the bad guys just win
