The two door paradox
v1.0.0by AlexisCustomDifficulty:
Bootlegger rules
- There are two storytellers. One cannot lie, and one cannot tell the truth. Players are not told which is which.
- Whenever a good player would receive information due to their ability, they must choose which storyteller to consult.
- Evil players receive their information as normal.
- Both storytellers must always tell the truth about mechanical or rules questions.
- The mathematician's ability also includes players who receive false information due to the Bootlegger.
