Blood on the Clocktower

Details

Blood on the Clocktower is a social game of deduction and deception, lies, logic, murder, and mystery for five to twenty players. During the day, players talk and socialize as a group, or go into private conversations to gather information, share what they know, or spread lies. During the night, players close their eyes, while some good players wake to learn valuable information, and the demon and its minions wake to spread their mischief.
Each player is a unique character, with a powerful ability to use or a troublesome penalty to avoid. BotC is mostly a talking game, with almost no physical pieces for the players to use. Players win or lose by their wits, their insight, and their ability to convince others about who should live and who should die.
Unlike other games of this type, players do not leave the game if they die. If killed at night, or executed during the day. The player stays in the game, opens and closes eyes as normal, and can talk at anytime. The disadvantage to dying is that you lose your ability, and you only have one vote left for the rest of the game. Use it wisely. The game ends when the players kill the demon (usually only one, except in very large games) and the demon and his minions win if there are only the demon and two other players left.
At night, talking is allowed, except for narrating what you are doing at night. Talking is encouraged. The storyteller will not talk at night, but rather use hand signals.
There are handouts with all of the possible roles within any particular story, so you can always check what your role, or anyone else’s, does.
Players are welcome to arrive late. I can add people into a game that is already in progress. I just need a minimum there to start on time, so please let me know if you will be late. Also, if you need to leave early, we can give you a character that can leave the game. And you are not required to stay until the end time of the meetup.
Come try out this new game, you’ll have a lot of fun.
