How it plays

You belong to neither side. You have no night action and one goal: be eliminated by the day vote. If the town votes you out, you win instantly and the game ends for everyone. Being killed at night is a loss.

The Jester only appears at the 25-player maximum, and changes how the whole table thinks about suspicious behaviour.

Tips

• Act just guilty enough: contradict yourself, dodge questions, defend the wrong people.
• Do not be too obvious; experienced towns refuse to vote for someone begging to be voted.
• Avoid looking like a power role, or the Mafia will kill you at night and end your game.

Counter-play

The town beats the Jester by never voting on a hunch alone and by asking why a player wants the vote. The Mafia beat the Jester by killing anyone suspicious at night.
