- Awesome quick game! Great for parties with people who don't necessarily play board games.
- It's a great gateway game to get people into the board game world. It doesn't take too long to play and it's a blast. I love the way the different roles change the feel of the game from turn to turn.
- I enjoy this game! It's a nice quick game that can be learned quickly, but can require some more skill/guesswork if you want to think about it. Included expansion gives it good replay value.
- A true classic of the genre, this game regularly hits the table. Great gateway game, medium filler, with great interaction coming from the anonymous role selection mechanic.
- My favorite 2 player game. Absolutely brilliant with 2 or 3 players, but the luck factor and the downtime between turns quickly gets out of hand with more than that.
- If it wasn't for The Resistance, I'd say it was the best game per cubic inch around, as it is, it'll have to settle for a second. Great mind game.
- I played this game a lot for some period, we were really into it. Alas that was many years ago, but I'd love to get back into it.
- Great group game. Friendly and accessible to casual gamers. The way the roles shift around is fun.
- Real fun game that can be played with non-boardgamers as well as gamers. Plenty of strategy in trying to figure out who is what character in a round.
- I really like this game. It has a lot of strategy if you really want to play competitively, but the simple game mechanics make it very easy to learn for new players and non-gamers alike
- Fast setup, quick play, and easy to get a game up and running and finished without a lot of fuss. Simultaneously, enough depth and strategy to keep everyone engaged.
