Spies is the same game as "Wolves," and "Mafia." These are popular social games played in college dorms and at gatherings across the world.
The game is really simple. A small number of players are secretly chosen to be "Spies." The Spies, working undercover and pretending to be regular players, 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," who 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 it wasn'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 still in the game are declared the Winners.
All Citizens are eliminated. Every Spy has won the game, regardless if they were eliminated.
