Traitor Game III: Governmental Ties expanded the scope of the Traitor Games. No longer were they limited to merely comic book characters. Now players were invited to play characters from movies, television, and other fantasy, superhero, and sci-fi mediums in addition to comic book characters. Hosted by Joe Acro, this was the first Traitor Game with an extended 'meet and greet' session, allowing everyone the chance to roleplay their characters and give the characters a chance to get to know each other before the mayhem began.
