Competitive Play: Death Seeker▼
One player is chosen secretly to be the death seeker. While living, they cannot reveal their identity to anyone. They win if everyone at the table dies before rescue, or if they are the last one alive. The entire group has a choice throughout the game. They may continue the game as usual, or they may hold votes before drawing a night card about who they think is the death seeker. There are two types of votes, execution or intervention. Execution vote: The player most voted is dead, guilty or innocent. Should this vote ever be used, the rest of the party must have two players living to win the game. A good way to get rid of that thorn-in-your-side death seeker, or alternatively, that player who keeps accusing you and messing up your plans. Intervention vote: Two heart tokens are randomly flipped, one publicly, one in secret by the person voted most likely to be death seeker (now called the accused). Pubic flip: If the heart is full, no effect. If empty, the main accuser (chosen by the accused) must draw a madness card. The effect on the accused is determined by the position of both hearts. If they are both full, the accused (innocent or death seeker), must now give someone a hug or genuine compliment. If they were the death seeker, they're no longer a death seeker. If they were innocent, no effect. If one is full, and one is empty, there's no effect on the accused, innocent or death seeker. They remain whatever they were before the intervention. If they really want to give a hug or compliment, though, they still can! If both are empty, wow, you're really pissed off. The player is now a death seeker, regardless of their previous status. Dead players are allowed to call a vote and vote in it-- so long as they aren't dead because they were executed. Executed players have no voting rights, though they can still loudly suggest a vote as much as they want. If either vote is called and a majority is not reached, a random heart token is flipped. Heart full: no effect. Heart empty: Everyone loses a forage or heart due to the stress. Final consideration: If the death seeker is the last one alive, and no execution vote was ever used, technically, everyone at the table wins. The death seeker might be called a jerk, but hey! Someone survived, and all's well that ends well, right? - Submitted by Madi X
