How it plays

You are a townsperson with a gun and a limited number of shots. On any night you may shoot one player; they die unless protected. There is no investigation attached, so every shot is a bet on your own reads.

The Vigilante unlocks at fourteen players, where the town has enough bodies to absorb a mistake and enough Mafia that a correct shot swings the game.

Tips

• Do not shoot on night one. Wait for a day of discussion and a vote pattern.
• Shoot the player who dodged the vote a confirmed-Mafia elimination would have hit.
• Save the last bullet for a confirmed Mafia member who is about to reach parity; a night kill ends the game faster than a vote.

Counter-play

Mafia manipulate the Vigilante by framing a loud townsperson and by acting as the calmest voice in the room.
