Features
In "Night-Thieving Rats in the Kingdom," each player takes on a unique role, such as the King, guards, thieves, or underground third-party factions. At the beginning of the game, with everyone's eyes closed, the King decides which treasure chest to hide the peanuts in, and then the other characters take turns to act. Actions may include swapping the positions of treasure chests, investigating identities, and more. Finally, the thieves will act, randomly designating one player as an accomplice.
What sets this game apart is that players don't need to deduce each other's roles; instead, they must deduce the location of the treasure chest with the peanuts. To ensure the authenticity of players' claims, before deducing the peanuts' location, players must first decide to imprison a suspicious character, using it as a basis for deduction. In the end, if the thieves successfully guess the treasure chest with the peanuts, the thieves and the accomplice win; otherwise, the kingdom wins. Additionally, there is a possibility of a third-party faction winning under special conditions.
Therefore, accurately deducing the location of the peanuts, and identifying the potential accomplice, will be crucial tasks in the game.
