How To Play
Ensure each player has a number card and is assigned a secret role of either Faithful or Traitor. There should always be one Traitor in the game. Remove the additional Traitor card, event cards, and final banishment card from the game deck, shuffle, and then deal 3 cards face down to each player.
Shuffle the additional Traitor card back into the deck, slot in the event cards randomly through the deck, and ensure the final banishment is at the bottom. Place the game deck in the middle of the play area and scan the QR code provided to access the digital gameplay. It's time to play The Traitors!.
Players take turns to pick up a card and play a card. The aim is to build a collective hoard of gold. If an event card is drawn it is played immediately. EVENTS – when an event card comes up, click the digital event to see what event will take place. A Quiet Night, a Murder, or a Banishment.
Quiet Night – play continues. Murder – the Traitor will secretly murder someone. Banishment – All players must discuss and vote out a player. When the Final Banishment card is drawn, or there are only 2 players left, play the final event, and then all remaining players reveal their roles.
The Winner
At the end of the round, if all remaining players are Faithful, the prize fund is split. If there are any Traitors, they steal the money! Note the scores and continue playing the next round. At the end of the agreed number of rounds, the player with the most gold coins is the winner!
