Gameplay

Setup

Town of Salem features 48 unique roles, offering a fresh experience every time you play! Before each game begins, players gather in a lobby where the host selects the roles that will be in play. Each player is randomly assigned a role from this list, creating endless possibilities. Once the game starts, you’ll receive a role card that explains your character’s abilities and alignment, helping you strategize and dive into the action.

Phases

Night

The night phase is when most roles use their abilities. Serial Killers stealthily murder people, Doctors heal people who are attacked, Sheriffs interrogate people for suspicious activity, the Witch or Coven Leader control the abilities of others, Escorts “distract” others from using their abilities, etc.

Discussion & Voting

The discussion phase is when Town members chat about who they suspect of being an evil role. Once voting starts, a majority vote from the town will put someone on trial.

Defense & Judgement

If someone is accused, the defense phase is when they will plead their innocence to the town. Have a convincing story or find yourself facing the gallows! During judgement, the town votes on the fate of the accused. Players can vote guilty, innocent or abstain. If there are more guilty votes than innocent votes the defendant is sentenced to death by hanging!
