Setup Explained

This is a more complex example of a common style of wlf setup, using the concepts of bags of roles and items, from which a portion of each will be in the game. Because it is unclear what roles and items are actually in the game there is ambiguity about whether a claimed role is true or false.

The Wolves have additional information about how many power roles are in the game based upon the number of items they receive and so can be certain if both or neither of the Protector and Night Warden are in the game if they receive ten or eight items from the potions bag, but not which if they receive nine.

There are at least two Shapeshifters in the setup, so the avatar that appears to die may not always be the legitimate Wolfpack kill.

There are no Village roles that can interact with the graveyard, so it is impossible for the village to be certain what roles have died.

The Village may have none, one or two protection roles with the Protector and Night Warden both being possible to exist, and can try to determine more information by sharing information about items they may have started with.

Almost all of the intel in this setup is based on tarot cards, and so trying to be familiar with the different types of cards and what cards mean will help newer players.

The potential existence of potions of incrimination, the staff of bedazzlement and the veil of shadows mean that some people may have their cards temporarily or permanently altered, and this should be considered when trying to piece together any intel claimed.
