Basically it's a game. There's: Villagers, Jesters, and Ghosts.
Villagers are assigned a word. Jesters are assigned a different word. Ghosts need to guess villager's word when lynched. Everyone needs to give a hint to their word at the start of the game (Ghosts select the first person to give a hint, and must give a hint themselves, so they need to look at everyone else's hint and blend) Once all hints are given, people vote to lynch who they think is Ghost. If they hit anyone besides Ghost, the selected person dies and they lynch again. If they hit the Ghost, the Ghost has a chance to guess the word before dying (Can be more then one ghost per game) The ghost wins if he guesses the word or if the ghosts equal town in numbers The town wins when all Ghosts are dead Jesters are added to throw some confusion, so not everyone will have the same word, making it harder to lynch the Ghosts and harder for the Ghosts to guess the right word.
