Bootlegger rules
- There will ALWAYS be 1 to 3 mathmatician(s). One of the extras is poisoned. if there are 2, split them into drunkness + special and poison + special. if there are 3, add a regular mathmatician to the case of 2 mathmaticians. either way, tell every mathmatician what they detect at the start of the game, even if there's 1.
- For the Sweetheart's ability, replace "drunk" with "poison".
- The Acrobat's effect is instead: "at the start of the game, three players are shown to you; one of them is THE drunk. Each* night, choose three players; you will know how many of them are drunk or THE drunk."
"Open Script Tool" pre-loads this script's characters directly on script.bloodontheclocktower.com, the same way it works from other script libraries.
