Concise Rules

This is a concise explanation of the key rules. For new players or for a more detailed overview of the rules see the How To Play page. For detailed information on specific Roles, Mechanisms and Interactions there are dedicated pages for those.

• Players are split into good (Village) and evil (Werewolves) teams by being dealt a secret role.

• Good players are trying to kill all evil players. Evil players are trying to reach Parity.

• Players are in the game as long as they are alive. When someone dies they leave the game, either through execution or another player(s) killing them.

• Game is played over a number of rounds called "days" - each of which has two phases: day and night.

• • Day phase is open discussion with the ability to nominate players to go on trial

• • • Each player has one nomination per day. Nominations are only successful if they are seconded by another player. Seconds are not limited.

• • • Each player can be nominated twice per day

• • • During a trial only the nominator, second and accused can talk

• • • After accusations and defences are heard, a vote is taken with the majority of players not on trial required to put a player on the block for execution.

• • • Multiple trials can take place during a day, with the player whose trial has the most votes being the person on the block for execution

• • • If two or more players are tied on votes at the end of the day, nobody is executed.

• • Night phase is played in silence with eyes closed. The Moderator runs the night phase and wakes people up individually to perform their roles

• The game ends when one team reaches their win condition.
