Secret Hitler! It's fun to play with a group consistently and watch the meta evolve over time. Also, yelling at people and telling everyone they are a fascist gives a special feeling.
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.
