How to play City Sleeps
Choose how many people play and how many Shadows there are. Then pass the phone: each player taps “See my role” and reads it privately. The person holding the phone is the narrator and should not look at the roles.
At night, the narrator calls each role in order: the Shadows pick a victim, the Guardian protects someone and the Oracle checks whether a player is a Shadow. At dawn, the narrator announces what happened.
During the day, the village votes to eliminate someone suspicious. The game ends when all Shadows are out, or when they are equal to or more than the villagers.
