Seer

Game Flow
How to Play
One night the wolves hunt, the next day the village judges.
Create or Join a Room
Pick a 6, 9, or 12-player board and invite your friends. Empty seats can be filled by AI bots.
Night Falls
Werewolves choose a victim, the Seer inspects a player, and the Witch decides whether to heal or poison.
Day Breaks
The village wakes to news of the night. Discuss, deceive, and deduce who the wolves are.
Vote to Exile
When the timer runs out, cast your vote. The player with the most votes is exiled — hopefully a werewolf.
