In the beginning

Roles are assigned

And then...

Night Falls
Werewolves kill a villager
The Seer tries to find a werewolf
The Healer tries to protect an endangered villager
Everyone makes noise

Day Breaks
The victim is announced
Everyone investigates
Nominations are made, + debate and defense
Justice is exacted – and the village gets smaller…

Night Falls Again

GAME OVER? All Werewolves are Dead or Werewolves and Villagers are equal in Number

Reveal vs. No Reveal

Night
Werewolves select a victim
Seer finds out if someone is a werewolf
Healer protects someone
Day
Victim is revealed
Investigation, interrogation, and debate
MOB JUSTICE

If You Are Killed

Stay and watch-- it’s a great time to learn
Whisper your commentary to your fellow dead… Others are still playing the game!
