The Resistance is a social deduction game that is easy to learn and which can handle a large number of players. While success in the game requires players to lie to one another, the skill that this game teaches is NOT lying but recognizing opportunities for shared success and determining the identity of reliable allies, two skills that all workers could benefit from refining.
