How to play
Pick a player to cleave. Anyone who visits them that night dies - healers, investigators and killers alike - and so do they, if they stayed put. If they went out to visit someone else, only their visitors die. Pick yourself to stay put: everyone who visits you dies (configurable). A Doctor's heal still saves the one it covers, and a Bodyguard guarding your pick, even one who went out, trades their life for yours - and then nobody else dies. A roleblock or a jail stops you, and nobody dies. An alerted Veteran shoots you at the door. After a killing spree (a night with 2 or more bodies) you rest the next night (configurable). You're immune to night kills and appear innocent to the Cop (both configurable). Win by being the last one standing.
