Blood on the Clocktower Tournament

Mon, Aug 17, 12:30 AM

From Los Angeles Werewolf Meetup Group

4.9

A recommended (but optional) $5 donation will be requested from now on to help me cover the cost of the space and meetup fees. Either through cash or: Venmo: @BrandonF51 Zelle: 7325973400 Location: Groundfloor in Echo Park (street parking only) 160 Glendale Blvd Free coffee/tea/water/liquor are available and the space almost always has snacks. Trying to make these events more potluck style. If anyone is able to bring any food/dishes/snacks either made or purchased it would be very much appreciated. Join the Los Angeles Ultimate Werewolf Game Meetup Group for a fun-filled evening of social deduction games! And now introducing thanks to our Blood Moderator Trevor: # 🩸 Blood on the Clocktower Tournament 🩸 **Blood on the Clocktower** is a social deduction board game where players take on secret roles in a haunted village. Most players are **good**, trying to identify and execute the hidden **Demon**, while a small **evil team** works together to deceive the town and eliminate players each night. Unlike games like *Werewolf* or *Mafia*, eliminated players **stay in the game**—they can continue discussing, voting, and influencing the outcome until the very end. Every player also has a unique character with a special ability, creating endless strategy, bluffing, and unforgettable moments. We'll be running a **friendly tournament** throughout the evening: * Multiple games of Blood on the Clocktower * Points earned based on your performance each game * Live leaderboard updates * Prizes for the top finishers Whether you're a veteran or you've never played before, you're welcome! New players are encouraged to arrive a little early for a rules explanation before the first game begins. If you enjoy strategy games, deception, psychology, or trying to read people, you'll love Blood on the Clocktower. Come ready to lie, investigate, persuade... and maybe save the town.

Werewolf setups: 45 minute game timer, I will keep all night phases moving, days only end with a kill Village team - 1 point Werewolf team - 1 point Independent team (vampires etc)- 2 points Independent solo win (lone wolf etc)- 3 points 5 rounds - whoever has most wins is 1st place in the tournament, 2nd and 3rd win prizes as well In the result of a tie in any of the top 3 places we play one final small tie breaker
