The game supports bluffing, deduction and cooperative strategy as participants attempt to fulfill the objectives tied to their roles.

The components and turn sequence are designed to accommodate larger groups, making it appropriate for parties and family gatherings where quick setup and replayability are desirable.

Key specifications

• Game type: social deduction tabletop board game
• Play mode: alternating night and day phases with hidden roles
• Player interaction: discussion, accusation, voting and secret actions
• Primary skills: bluffing, logical reasoning, teamwork and persuasion
• Suitable for group play and party environments

How to use

Distribute role cards to players face down so only each player knows their own role. Follow the game sequence by running night phases where specific roles act secretly, then proceed to day phases for group discussion and voting to eliminate suspected opponents. Continue alternating phases until one faction meets its win condition. Use a neutral moderator if needed to manage phase transitions and clarify rule interactions.

Usage recommendations

Play with groups large enough to maintain uncertainty about identities; games with more players increase strategic depth. Establish clear rules about speaking order and time limits during discussions to keep sessions engaging and fair. For mixed-age groups, adjust role complexity and discussion length to match participants' attention spans.
