The Devil's Plan Excellent Korean contest on Netflix

I started this last night and finished 4 episodes. It started with 12 contestants and they live together and compete in mental-based contests which are really complex.A bit like a mix of Big Brother and Survivor with more complex (mental)games and token-based strategy that runs past the end of the games and permeates the entire contest.
I am really enjoying it. The mix of individual and team dynamics along with very interesting contests had me rushing to get stuff done this morning so I could watch an episode before sports started. I really liked the board game they played but I hated I couldn't read Korean.

It is really well done. You absolutely need to give your undivided attention when watching because it can get confusing real fast. The games have tons of rules.

I am still fascinated by the board game they played. I really wish there had been a companion internet site where I could have seen all the individual rules and the options for the group rules in English. It was amazing the rules were so complex players often didn't realize when their own personal rule they wrote was triggered.

I feel like I did this show a disservice with my title because it is difficult to explain. I will include the Wiki explanation and just suggest anyone that likes cerebral reality contests watch it. I like Survivor and BB but this is so much better IME. In this game people don't vote you off but can impact whether you go or not. It has high ratings on all the services.

The Devil's Plan (Korean: ??? ??) is a South Korean reality game show. The first season premiered on September 26, 2023, on Netflix. Twelve contestants compete in both collaborative and competitive strategy games in order to win a cash prize.
Format
Twelve celebrity contestants are initially given one "Piece". A player with no Pieces is eliminated; Pieces can be traded between players or spent on in-game benefits. Pieces can be won and lost in the two daily matches: the Main Match and the Prize Match.
After the competitive Main Match, the two surviving players with the fewest Pieces are sent to prison until the next Main Match. The player or players with the most Pieces make tie-breaking decisions about who is sent to prison. The collaborative Prize Match determines whether a sum of money—?50,000,000 or ?100,000,000—is added to the final pot, which can total up to ?500,000,000.[1]
Games featured include social deduction games, board games, card games and abstract strategy games like nine men's morris. Main Matches typically see players forming alliances, while the Prize Matches test skills including memorization, numerical calculation and visualization.

Finally watched through the episodes. It's really good but not if you like bells a whistles. Not certain I'd call it all cerebral but it's full of complicated decision making games.
Even the easy ones are fun to watch. Never heard of Nine Man Morris but I have to order one.
