    Description

    Two great factions, Loyalists and Rebels, are fighting a fierce civil war.
    The treacherous Usurper tries to gain total power for themselves.
    In addition to their secret identity, each player has a secret rank. A high rank allows you to issue orders to other players but also makes you a target for assassination if discovered. If your rank is low you can try to bluff.
    With limited ammunition and information, you will have to use wits and trickery to identify your allies and outsmart your opponents in this suspenseful social deduction game for 5-12 players.

    Gameplay:

    Each player starts with two secret cards: an Identity and a Rank, as well as 3 Health and 1 Ammo tokens.
    Play proceeds in turns, with each player having 2 Action Points to spend. There are several Actions players can take in their turn to increase their Ammo, give it away, or spend it to shoot other players. A special action called "Issuing an Order" or simply "Order" is also available, where a player can attempt to force another player to either carry out one of the aforementioned Actions, or privately show which side they are on.

    However, the recipient of an Order can refuse, in which case the two players secretly compare Ranks, and the higher Rank wins out.

    A player is dead when they lose all of their Health Tokens. A dead player does not reveal their identity, but can make a final statement. Their Rank and Ammo are given to the player that killed them.

    Play ends when either the Usurper has gained the highest Rank in the game, or all players have passed. The Loyalists win by outnumbering Rebels at the end, and vice-versa. In case of a tie, the highest Rank breaks the tie.
