In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you...

During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below.

A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion.

Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?

Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions.

During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. Of a 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill.

The Storyteller uses the game's intricate playing pieces to guide each game, leaving others free to play without a table or board. Players stay in the thick of the action to the very end even if their characters are killed, haunting Ravenswood Bluff as ghosts trying to win from beyond the grave.

If you arrive late to a game, you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveller character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances. Each character comes with their own special ability and no two players in a game are ever the same character.

Release Date set for November 30th (at the latest)

I've been playing this game on zoom for the last 8 months - I cannot praise it enough! There are some problems with it, as I feel it's very group dependent. Also, like most social deduction games, if you have a combative group - it will cause fights! (LOL) Looking forward to being able to play it in person!

Best Social Deduction game I've played

I cannot comment on the components because it is not released yet, but I can comment on the gameplay. I've made my own copy and have played it 75+ times before Covid hit and am still occasionally playing it online.

Pros:
players are still active in game after death
Metagames appear once more familiar with the roles
Balanced - started recording wins for Trouble Brewing for 5-15 players and it's 20 wins for both Good and Evil teams
All player powers are unique
Secret conversations add some spice
Story teller is a lot of fun to see people bluff and acting as a balance to keep the game balanced when possible

Cons:
Can be a intimidating for first time players with all the roles
It can take longer with more players (1.5 hours)
Storyteller should try to maintain balance when possible and it may require some brain power

Overall, I really enjoy this game and it leaves players discussing the game long after it is done
