Among us reminded me of a group card game called Mafia. Lots of good times at camp with that one. Your board looks great!
Edit: Yes, I get it’s not truly a “card game” but we always used them to assign the roles. Also, having a good narrator is a must! As a teacher, I played this with my students when we covered Salem Witch Trials.
So here is a basic rundown of how it works for everyone asking. Still tweaking things.
Players are dealt cards that show if they are imposters or crewmates. They are also dealt a character card(red, blue etc)
Tasks are place on the board randomly facedown. And players have a hand of task cards. These say "success" or unsuccessful." some have sabotage or other "bad" cards that the imposters can use secretly.
The gameplay lasts quickly with a sand timer. Everyone is moving around the map placing task cards in the piles already on the board face down and may attempt to complete the task by taking the pile, shuffling and revealing one card face up. If success, congrats, you are closer to winning. If unsuccessful, discard that card and that task is currently locked. If it is a "murder" card, congrats, you have been murdered. After a round, there is discussion and votes and it continues. Imposter wins if enough people are killed or the crewmates didn't complete tasks by a number of rounds. Crewmates win if they finish tasks or vote out the imposter(s)
That is a VERY basic rundown. There are a few more rules and things such as the room special abilities, and last minute murder rampage, etc. but hopefully this gives you an idea.
