How to build your one-minute speech, nominate a player, vote and get through the first night.
- Game vocabulary: red, black, colour, table, nominationWithout the terms even a simple speech is hard to follow. Learn what colour, table and nominate mean and how to turn game slang into plain sentences.
- How to listen to the first speechesThe first round gives hypotheses, not answers. Learn to tell facts about behaviour from interpretations and to note positions.
- How to build your one-minute speechA speech should help the team make a decision, not fill the time. A simple structure for the 60 seconds you get at the table.
- What to say when there is little informationOn the first day there is almost no reliable information. It helps to state the criterion you will use to judge what happens next.
- How to nominate a playerA nomination is a separate formal action, not just a spoken accusation. How to put a player forward for the vote correctly.
- How voting worksVoting is a mechanical procedure, and a mistake with your hand can cost the game. How to vote correctly and what to avoid.
- The tie vote: what equal votes meanA tie vote is the game name for equal votes between several candidates. What the host does and how a player should think about it.
- How to react to an accusationA defence is an answer that can be checked, not a louder voice. A short method for answering an accusation at the table.
- The first night and the first deathWhat happens after the day part: the agreed shot, the sheriff's check, the don's search, and how to use a last word if you are killed.
- The black team's first agreementThe agreement is the short meeting of the three black players on the zero night to agree a plan. It is done with gestures, not out loud.
