Daybreak

Eleven roles that sharpen the base game: new wolves, a shield, artifacts and a card turned face up.

Daybreak is the first expansion, and the one to add first. Its eleven roles keep the base game’s shape and sharpen every part of it: wolves that do more than hide, villagers who protect and reveal, and tokens that change the table itself.

What it adds

  • Three more wolves. The Alpha Wolf turns a villager into a wolf with a fourth center card, the Mystic Wolf looks at a player’s card, and the Dream Wolf sleeps through the pack’s meeting.
  • The shield. The Sentinel makes one card untouchable for the night.
  • Public facts. The Revealer turns a card face up for everyone.
  • Roles that can change sides. The Paranormal Investigator becomes the wolf he finds, and the Witch hands a center card to a player of her choice.
  • Artifacts. The Curator gives a player a random token that may rewrite their role. See marks and artifacts.
  • Protection in the vote. The Bodyguard saves whoever he votes for.

A deck to start with

A Werewolf and the Alpha Wolf against a Seer, a Witch, a Robber, a Troublemaker, a Revealer and an Insomniac. In the role picker it is the "Daybreak" button, made for 4 players: Werewolf, Alpha Wolf, Seer, Robber, Witch, Troublemaker, Insomniac, Revealer. More in decks for every table.
