Tor
Bootlegger

Bootlegger rules

  • During setup, the Kazali chooses a number of good players (equal to the number of Minions) and assign each an on-script townsfolk character. Those players are safe from the demon until after Night 3.
  • Tor is only in play so that players do not see their characters initially. After Kazali setup, all players learn their characters and alignments like normal.
  • Each selected minion learns one unique out-of-play role.
