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.
