Spies is the same game as "Mafia," and "Werewolves." It is a popular social game played at friendly gatherings across the world.
The game is really simple. A small number of players are secretly chosen to be "Spies." The Spies work undercover and pretend to be regular players. They work together as a group to eliminate all of the others and be the only ones left standing. Everyone who isn't a Spy is a regular player, known as "Citizens." They try and eliminate all of the Spies. This is tough, because they aren't sure who exactly the Spies are.
The game begins when the Spies select one player to Imprison (eliminate from the game). Then everybody gets together, including the spies who are acting undercover, to make a decision on who they think is a Spy. Votes are cast and the person with the most votes is Exiled from the group and eliminated from the game for good.
Afterwards, it is revealed if the Exiled player really was a Spy. If they were, the Citizens rejoice in becoming one step closer to eliminating the Spies. If they weren't, the Citizens just exiled someone who was trying to accomplish the same goal they were - eliminate the Spies.
The game repeats in a cycle exactly like this one. The remaining Spies come together to Imprison somebody, then all players vote on who they think the Spies are, attempting to eliminate them. The Spies may be incredibly few in number, but they have the advantage of secrecy, knowledge, teamwork, and undercover manipulation to help them survive.
The game ends when either:
All Spies are eliminated. When all the Spies are eliminated, all Citizens have won the game.
All Citizens are eliminated. When all the Citizens are eliminated, all Spies have won the game.
