i do a casual games night with games that are fun and simple to learn and play. this game was extremely popular. the rules can seem daunting, but after one or 2 rounds everyone knew what was going on. gameplay moves at a good pace, and a game is fairly short, 30 minutes or so. while the game works with fewer people, after reading the rules i decided i dont want to play this game with less than 7 players because it affects the ratio of fascists to liberals. it took a long time to get enough people together but it was worth it.
there is as much or as little strategy as each player wants to use. some players get insanely into the layers of intrigue and espionage in the game, as verifiable information is limited, players can pass info freely, but aren't obligated to tell the truth it can be a real logic challenge to weed out who the fascists are. it seems as if the liberals have a bit of an advantage, as there are more of them and fascists often have to act in interest of liberals not to out themselves, but that makes a fascist win that much better.
the game feels vastly different depending on what faction you play, as liberals start knowing nothing, but as a fascist you know who is on your side as well as who hitler is, so you start with a camaraderie with certain players you must hide, while the liberals are in fear anyone could be a fascist or hitler.
this is an easy to learn, extraordinarily fun game to play that allows players to engage at levels of strategy that are comfortable for them, where other games with high levels of scheming force all players to adhere to the level of strategy to compete or have fun. this is especially good since this game can accommodate up to 10 players
