Party game guides for hosts and players

Why these guides exist

A party game is a social activity, so the written rules alone do not answer every useful question. A first-time host may need to know when to end discussion, whether to start with a cooperative game, or how to avoid giving the Imposter too much information. These articles are based on the actual formats available on Imposter Games and link directly to the relevant game pages.
