Does this game remind you of any other game? My daughter seems to think it is like Coup.

I would call it a social hidden information game. This means it is in the same genre as werewolf/mafia, the One Night games, and One Room and a Boom, among others. It has no really gameplay simularities to Coup. I think of it as a highly refined version of mafia, with no player elimination and with no need for anyone to stay out of the game to narrate.

"30 minutes of playtime" is listed as a feature of the game. What does that mean?

You can play several rounds, but one round/game takes about 30 minutes. More or less depending on how much debate there is. Super fun game!

How's the game change with 5+ players? Is it either 5 OR 10, or can you have any #? More missions? Other changes?

Just want to add it would be relatively trivial to extend this game to 11+ if you had more people in the room. You'd have to make pieces of paper that have good guy/bad guy (Resistance/Spy) on them, for as many people as there are in the game, and you'd have to draw a little board on a piece of paper that has the proper round rules. The rules as you add players in the existing game follow a simple formula that's easy to extend if you just page through the 5 player to the 10 player. Basically round 1 is super easy for Resistance to win, and Round 5 is super easy for Spies to win, with some bumps in the middle. Don't cut people out just because of what's in the box!

Do the cards fit in those standard size clear plastic deck protectors used for collectible card games?

I just tried this out with the deck protectors I use for my magic the gathering decks and the resistance cards fit in them just fine. They are a bit snug but can be both placed in and removed without difficulty or damage to the covers.
