Among Us
An online and local party game of teamwork and betrayal for 4-10 players
The first thing we would like to mention is that this game is free to play on mobile devices and $5 on Steam. The downside of the FTP is the ads that pop up with the ability to use a micro-transaction to get them to go away. The Steam version has no ads and gives a few added cosmetics. This game is cross platform so it does not matter which version you choose.
Right off the bat, if you wish to play online with your polycule create a private room and give them the code. If for some reason you do not have at least 4 players, than you should open it to the public, otherwise you and your partners may not get to play together. We recommend playing with as many people as possible.
If you are not the imposter, you are given a list of tasks to preform. Completing these tasks is the goal of the ‘regular’ crew in order to fill up a green bar on the top of the screen. Completely filling the bar is a win, along with finding out who the imposter is.
If you are the imposter, your goal is to sabotage things to prevent the crew from filling up their task bar, and of course killing off the crew. Once you have killed off the majority of the crew you win the game!
You need to be really good at lying while also not being suspicious. Doing anything the least bit suspicious could mean you get launched out the airlock or into a lava pit even if you aren’t the imposter!
We enjoyed playing in games where there were 2 imposters and the max amount of player. We are quite addicted to this game, but it is not for the feint of heart! You will be accused time and time again even if you are never the imposter!
