How the Cupid works
Cupid wakes only on the first night and chooses two players. The narrator asks Cupid to tap them on the shoulder; the pair then open their eyes and see each other.
From then on, if either one dies, the other dies too. If the pair are on opposite teams (a villager and a werewolf), they win only if they are the last two alive.
In the app you can call the pair Lovers (classic) or Bound by fate, if romance would be awkward at your table. The rules are the same.
What the narrator says
“Cupid, open your eyes. Choose two players to fall in love.” … “Cupid, close your eyes.”
The full script for every role is on the narrator script page.
How to play the Cupid
- Pairing yourself is allowed and keeps you alive longer: you'll know one player you can trust.
- Pair two quiet players to protect the debate; pairing two loud players can wipe out two strong voices at once.
Playing against the Cupid
- Two players who always defend each other may be the pair.
- When a death takes a second player with it, the second death tells everyone who the pair was.
The most common mistake
Forgetting the mixed-team pair. A villager bound to a wolf may quietly change sides.
