A very close group of programming friends had years-long fun meta gaming and what not via a similar game, Avalon. It’s a King Arthur re-skin of resistance.

Every year, at every Ruby on Ales, the same group of us organizers, speakers and friends would gather at a house and play Avalon for hours and hours after the conference. So many good memories and wonderful friends were made through that game.

I played this twice the other night and enjoyed it, which shocked me because I the Resistance. I'm not sure if there's actually something different about it, or if I just enjoy the novelty of it.

First one that came to mind for me as well! I’ve played Secret Hitler a couple times now with friends, and it’s a bizarre yet fun premise for a game. Especially enjoyable if you and your group are interested in the history it’s based around.
