Information from the evil team is always false, and so is anything a poisoned or drunk villager says. Find where the clues contradict each other and execute every living member of the evil team to win. Execute too many good villagers and you lose. Two villages • One Night Village: no day or night. Reveal and execute as many tokens as you like. • Many Nights Village: one reveal and one execution each day, and someone dies every night. Some villagers bring new information each day.
