The Purge Dilemma

Your lives depend on one man's paranoia: the Tyrant. Assume the role of the a paranoid tyrannical dictator and find out who among the other players is sabotaging the interests of the Committee. In this social deduction game you will test your investigative and deception skills. Will you be clever enough to save yourself before the Tyrant's paranoia reaches its peak? You will have proved your loyalty (or not) if your name does not appear among the victims of the Purges.

Every member of the Committee will be able to run a Commissariat and choose who to include in it. All member will vote for or against the proposed Commissariat. Attention! For every rejected Commissariat proposal, instability rises - if it reaches its climax it will be a victory for the dissidents, and a shameful defeat for the loyalists.

PLAY AS

• Step into the shoes of the dictator himself and carefully observe the behaviour of the players involved in a Commissariat.

• Gather as much information as possible in your notebook and unmask the dissidents sitting at the Committee table.

• Distribute special permits to the members of the Committee so that they may assist you in uncovering the dissidents. But careful! It would be a great waste if you gave that special permit to a traitor!

• Keep an eye on your paranoia: when the limit is reached you will be forced to pick the victims of your purges.

• Choose your victims carefully: leaving a dissident alive will cost you the entire game!

• Prove your innocence to the members of the Committee so that you may be chosen as a member of the Commissariat.

• Finish the tasks chosen by the Commissar to keep the Tyrant's paranoia at bay and be rewarded with special permits.

• Make use of the special permits given to you by the Tyrant to gather further information on the other members of the Committee.

• If you have a clear conscience all you have to do is prove to the Tyrant that you are not the one to kill…
