There are two teams: The Harvesters, who know each other, and the Heroes of various stripes, who at the start only know the number of Harvesters in their midst. and one Moderator.There are two phases, “Night” when the harvesters may eliminate a player from the game and “Day” when the players vote to eliminate a subject. These phases repeat untill of the the Harvesters have been eliminated or the Harvesters are equal to or outnumber the Heroes.
Some players may be give a role with a special ability
Night
All players close their eyes. The moderator then instructs all members of the Harvesters to open their eyes and acknowledge their accomplices. They pick a “victim” by silently gesturing to indicate their target and to show unanimity, and then close their eyes again.A similar process occurs for other roles with nightly actions. In the case of the Hawk and Shield, the moderator may indicate the target’s innocence or guilt by using gestures such as nodding or head shaking.
Day
The moderator instructs players to open their eyes and announces who “was harvested” the previous night. Harvested players may not attempt to influence the game.Discussion ensues. At any point a player may accuse someone of being a Harvester and prompt others to vote to eliminate him. If over half of the players do so, the accused person is eliminated, his role is revealed, and night begins. Otherwise, the phase continues until an elimination occurs.
