About The Game

Objective:

• For the Villagers, Doctor, and Seer: Identify and vote out the Werewolves to save the village.

• For the Werewolves: Eliminate all Villagers and other opposing roles.

Roles:

• Werewolves: Typically, there are 2 or more players who are designated as Werewolves. They work together to eliminate other players during the game. The Werewolves know each others identity and can communicate secretly to plan their strategy.
• Villagers: The majority of players are Villagers. They do not have any special abilities other than trying to identify and vote out the Werewolves during the game.

GamePlay:

1. The game is played in rounds, with each round consisting of two phases: Day and Night.

2. During the Day phase, all players, including the Villagers, Doctor, and Seer, openly discuss and vote on who they think is a Werewolf. Players can use their observations, deductions, and any special abilities they may have to make their case.

3. At the end of the Day phase, the player with the most votes against them is dead and eliminated from the game. If there is a tie, no one is dead.

4. During the Night phase, the Werewolves secretly choose a player to eliminate from the game. The Doctor can choose a player to protect, and the Seer can investigate a players identity.

5. The next Day phase begins, and the cycle continues until either all Werewolves are eliminated, or the Werewolves outnumber the Villagers.

6. The game continues until one of the win conditions is met: either the Werewolves are all eliminated, or the Werewolves outnumber the Villagers.
