Bootlegger rules

The demon is publicly known.
A wraith must be one of the minions.
The storyteller decides who the starting host is. Each night the Lleech can make a guess as to who the host may be. Once per game, when they guess correctly, they can move the host to a player of their choice.
If a widow is in play, they do not know who the Lleech host is.
Evil wins when there are 3 or less players alive & one of them is the demon.
