And then there’s the crew meeting — all the survivors with the impostor(s) among us talking through their perspectives and pointing at one another. Which color crew members were seen near the dead body? Was everyone really participating in the tasks? How believable is the lead suspect’s defense? The debate calls for something in between the text-based deception of the original and bald-faced lying that occurs if you’ve played it in the same room with friends. Though the crew members only show the most basic body language there’s still enough between stumbling over words or averting gaze to build an opinion about who might be a cold-blooded space murderer. During one match, I watched a blue crew member turn a corner after another person, facing slightly backward as he did so. It looked to me as if their body language said “am I free to kill someone” rather than “am I being hunted?” My instincts were correct, and we jettisoned the impostor into space.
