How the Game Runs

1️⃣ Identity Assignment

• Shuffle role cards

• Everyone gets 1 secret role

• Moderator does NOT play

2️⃣ Night Phase (STRICT ORDER)

Everyone closes eyes.

Moderator calls:

1. Guard

   • Chooses someone to protect

2. Werewolves

   • Open your eyes and identify each other

   • Silently agree on ONE player to kill

   • Use pointing / eye contact only

3. Witch

   • Moderator shows wolf victim

   • Witch may:

     • Save (🟢)

     • Poison someone (🔴)

     • Do nothing

4. Seer

   • Checks ONE player

   • Moderator shows good / wolf

5. Hunter (no action unless dying)

Everyone closes eyes.

3️⃣ Day Phase – Death Announcement

Moderator announces:

• Who died last night

• Or says “peaceful night” if no deaths

Dead players:

• Reveal role

• Speak last words (optional)

• Then SILENT FOREVER

4️⃣ Sheriff Election (Day 1 only)

• Anyone may run

• Each candidate gives a short speech

• Everyone votes

• Winner gets the badge

How is the Sheriff elected?

ONLY ON DAY 1, after the first night deaths.

Step-by-step Sheriff election

1. Moderator: "Anyone who wants to run for Sheriff, raise your hand."

2. Candidates:

   • Each gives a short speech

   • Explains logic / claims / intentions

3. Voting:

   • Everyone votes

   • Majority wins

   • Winner gets the Sheriff badge

📌 Sheriff keeps the badge until death (unless passed)

How is the Sheriff passed around?

ONLY when the Sheriff dies:

• Killed by wolves

• Voted out

• Shot by Hunter

Sheriff death options (choose ONE)

When Sheriff dies, Moderator asks: "Sheriff, do you pass the badge or tear it up?"

Option A: Pass the badge

• Sheriff points to one living player

• That player becomes new Sheriff immediately

Option B: Tear up the badge

• Sheriff chooses no one

• There will be NO Sheriff for the rest of the game

📌 Once torn, Sheriff is gone forever

Why would someone tear the badge?

Strategic reasons:

• Everyone alive looks suspicious

• Don’t want wolves to control speaking

• No clear trusted good player

Tearing is common in high-level play.

5️⃣ Speaking Phase (VERY IMPORTANT)

• Sheriff chooses speaking order:

  • Clockwise / counterclockwise / jump

• Everyone gives logic statements

• No interrupting

6️⃣ Voting Phase

• Sheriff votes = 1.5

• The player with the MOST votes is eliminated

• Role is revealed

• If Hunter dies → shoot immediately

7️⃣ Repeat Night → Day

Continue until win condition is met.
