Figuring out how to play can be difficult at first if you have never played a game like this. We’ll go over the key components of the game later on, but for now lets start out with the overall goal.
What is the goal?
The goal of among us is to win the game. This may look different depending on which side you are on. The game has two sides; the crewmates and the imposters.
