First Night 18
Other Nights —
First Night Reminder During Minion Info, point to the Magician and the Demon. During Demon Info, point to the Magician and the Minions.
Ability
The Demon thinks you are a Minion. Minions think you are a Demon.
Details
"The Demon thinks you are a Minion. Minions think you are a Demon." The Magician confuses the evil players about who is evil and who isn’t. On the first night, instead of learning which player is the Demon, the Minions are told that both players—the Demon and the Magician—are the Demon. On the first night, the Demon learns that the Magician player is one of its Minions. The Magician does not wake to learn anything. The Storyteller can point to the Magician and the evil players in any order, so that the evil players won’t know which player is the Magician. If the Poppy Grower dies and the Demon and Minions learn who each other are mid-game, the Magician ability has an effect that night, just as if it was the first night.
How to Run
  1. During the first night, wake the Minions. Show them the THIS IS THE DEMON info token, then point to the Demon and the Magician. Put the Minions to sleep.
  2. During the first night, wake the Demon. Show the THESE ARE YOUR MINIONS info token, then point to all Minions and the Magician. Show the THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT IN PLAY info token and three character tokens. Put the Demon to sleep.
  3. Do this instead of the normal Minion Info and Demon Info steps.
Jinxes
  • Legion : If the Magician is in play, during the Demon info step, Legion wake in separate groups. Each group learns which players are good, but does not learn the Magician.
  • Marionette : If the Magician is alive, the Demon doesn't know which neighbor is the Marionette.
  • Spy : When the Spy sees the Grimoire, the Demon and Magician's character tokens are removed.
  • Vizier : If the Vizier is in play, the Magician has no ability but is immune to the Vizier's ability.
  • Widow : When the Widow sees the Grimoire, the Demon and Magician's character tokens are removed.
  • Wraith : After each execution, the living Magician may publicly guess a living player as the Wraith. If correct, the Demon must choose the Wraith tonight.
  • Lil' Monsta : If the Magician is alive, the Storyteller chooses which Minion babysits Lil' Monsta.
