BOTC Rules
Blood on the Clocktower is built around social deduction, bluffing, and collective storytelling. The core rhythm is simple:
- Each player has a secret role with hidden information and special abilities.
- Daytime is for discussion, accusations, and voting to eliminate suspects.
- Nighttime is when roles act, secrets deepen, and the story shifts.
- Good play means balancing truth, deception, and reading the room.
- for more information, visit the official BOTC website.
