Description

???????????? ("Higurashi When They Cry: Ware") is a hidden role game where everyone starts in the same situation and it's possible to play successfully without lying. At the beginning of the game everyone has one of each of seven role cards; over five in-game days, players will give each other votes and discard roles until only one is left, which determines who wins.

Each turn ("day"), a player may choose to either vote or destroy a vote. When you vote you give a vote token to any other player and discard your role cards for the day face down. When you destroy a vote, you discard one vote from any player, including yourself, and your discards for the day are face up. At the end of each of the first three days, all discards are shuffled and revealed in total, so you can follow approximately what cards are still in play.

Roles have a variety of victory conditions.

This game is different from ????????????? (Kakushite ware ha dokusaisha ni nareri, "And Thus I Became a Dictator...") as it includes a set of different cards, winning conditions and theme.

Note: The game can be played with up to 12 players, but one box only supports up to 6. For more than 6 players you will need to buy a second set and combine them.
