Roles (Cards)

https://www.playwerewolf.co/rules/roles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate\_Werewolf#Roles

The numbers in parentheses after each card name are for balancing purposes, with positive cards tending to help the villagers and negative cards aiding the werewolves. A mix of cards which sum to zero make for a balanced game.

After you die, you reveal what role you had.

To keep the game moving along, you can put a time limit to how long a day is, and if the village doesn't chose someone to lynch, they miss the opportunity.

Similarly, as soon as a majority vote confirms that a player has been lynched, they are dead. If they want to protest his innocence or reveal some information (like the seer's visions), they must to do it before the vote goes through.

You should always have 1 Seer, 1 Doctor, and 2 werewolves and the rest of the players should be Villagers.
