What is Traitor?
Traitor is the longest and most suspicious game in Fib Club. The phone goes round the group and each player secretly sees whether they are loyal or a traitor.
Then the group talks, accuses and votes someone out. Roles stay secret. The loyal players win by banishing every traitor. The traitors win by outlasting them.
How to play
- Pass the phone. Each player secretly sees their role.
- Talk it out, then vote someone out. Roles stay secret.
- Loyals win by banishing every traitor. Traitors win by outlasting them.
Ways to change the game
- Night murders. Between votes, everyone shuts their eyes and the traitors remove a player.
Tips
- Loyal players should talk early. Silence looks like guilt by the second vote.
- Traitors do best by agreeing with the room, not by leading it.
- Keep track of who voted for whom. Traitors rarely vote for each other.
