Unlike games where players are eliminated, everyone stays in the game until the end, ensuring no one is left out. It relies heavily on discussion, accusation, and reading people. It is a tense, exciting experience that is perfect for groups who enjoy games like Mafia or Werewolf but want more structure and less player elimination.

It is a staple for any social game night.
