I just came up with a really inconvenient, possibly unplayable four-player game: The Evil Advisor
All you need is a completely normal chess board and a deck of cards that you can somehow divide into an even amount of cards that mean "yes" or "no". Out of the four players, only two need to know how to play chess - those play the role of advisor. The other two play as rulers. At the start of the game, both advisors pull a random card from the deck, which dictates whether their goal is to win the game, or lose it. They keep their respective card, showing it to nobody else.
The rulers, who ultimately choose where to move the pieces, always aim to win the chess game, and also know that the advisor may or may not be on their side, and don't know whether to trust the advisor or not.
If the ruler wins the chess game, they win the whole game. An advisor only wins if they reach their own goal - if an advisor's goal was to lose, but the ruler wins, the advisor loses, and vice versa.

"Vicious" by Daniel Hart, feat. Damir Orascanin
"Recording "Vicious" for Interview With The Vampire Season One, Episode Five at Synchron Stage, Vienna. One of my favorite pieces of music I've written in a long time.
As a violinist who plays a lot of my own parts on my scores, I haven't always been able to trust other violinists to see the architecture of the performance the way I see it. But look at Synchron's Concertmaster Damir Orascanin just slaying those violin solos. An absolute beast. Watching him play gives me life. The whole orchestra killing it, Bernhard conducting the hell out of this piece, shaping what's on paper into something much more.
Shows like Vampire are rare: the amount of trust and positive encouragement coming my way throughout the process, the willingness of the studio to believe in its show runner's vision, allowing us to take some musical risks, some big swings...it's hard to imagine it getting better than Season One was. I feel incredibly lucky that someone gave me this canvas to paint." - Daniel Hart
Synchron Stage Orchestra conducted by Bernhard Voss - Video beautifully captured by Martin Pauser and team - Footage lovingly edited by Alan Del Rio Ortiz - Audio engineered by Bernd Mazagg - Mixed by Danny Reisch
