Judge

Detailed description

Due to his lengthy legal training, the judge can now show what he is capable of in the game: after he agrees upon a secret sign or gesture with the game master in the first night (e.g. tearing hair, touching a necklace, a hand signal), he can repeat it at any time during the day before the voting starts. In this case there is an immediate vote without further discussion, in which everyone has to point to a person whom they consider suspicious (they don’t have to be accused). The person with the most votes is eliminated and the day goes on as usual.

Variants

1) Alternatively, the second vote cannot take place immediately after receiving the sign, but only after the actual vote.

Hints for the game master and further rules

Always keep a close eye on the judge.

Hints for using this in the app

If the judge is in the game, a reminder will be displayed for the game master during the day.

Hints for you if you’re playing this character

Your moment has come when someone is particularly suspicious and is about to talk himself out of the situation – it’s best to briefly influence the public opinion against him and then fire your gesture.

Interactions

• Fallen angel: A vote initiated by the judge can also result in the fallen angel winning on the first day.
• Jester: If the jester dies in the additional voting coming from the judge, he also survives and loses his right to vote.
• Nun: The silenced players may not vote in the additional vote either. While the judge is silenced, he may not call for an additional vote.
• Opportunist: If the opportunist becomes the judge, she must agree on a new gesture with the game master and may use the ability again, even if a second vote has already taken place.
• Raven: The raven’s indictment letter also counts in the judge’s additional vote.
• Scapegoat: While the judge is silenced, he may not call for an additional vote.
• Actor: If the actor assumes the identity of the judge, he may use the gesture only the following day.
