Update 3.26.0 is now live! - First major game balance update

This update marks our first foray into balancing jinxes and character text, in preparation for a big push towards prioritising game design and ultimately getting the expansions finished. That means you can expect new jinxes and minor alterations to character text to become more prevalent in the future. Here are the details:

• 🚀 game balance updates 001-010 have been added:

  • 001 new Jinx for Summoner / Pit-Hag: "The Summoner cannot create an in-play Demon. If the Summoner creates a not-in-play Demon, deaths tonight are arbitrary."

  • 002 new Jinx for Vizier / Politician: "The Politician might register as evil to the Vizier."

  • 003 updated ability text for King: "Each night, if the dead equal or outnumber the living, you learn 1 alive character. The Demon knows who you are."

  • 004 updated Jinxes for Spy / Damsel & Widow / Damsel: "If the Spy/Widow is (or has been) in play, the Damsel is poisoned."

  • 005 updated/new Jinxes for Summoner / Kazali & Summoner / Hatter: "The Summoner cannot create an in-play Demon. If the Summoner creates a not-in-play Demon, deaths tonight are arbitrary."

  • 006 updated Jinx for Summoner / Riot: "If the Summoner creates Riot, all Minions also become Riot."

  • 007a new Jinx for Summoner / Courtier: "If the Summoner is drunk on the 3rd night, the Summoner chooses which Demon, but the Storyteller chooses which player."

  • 007b new Jinx for Summoner / Zombuul: "If the Summoner turns a dead player into the Zombuul, the Storyteller treats that player as a Zombuul that has died once."

  • 007c new Jinx for Summoner / Pukka: "The Summoner may choose a player to become the Pukka on the 2nd night."

  • 007d new Jinx for Summoner / Engineer: "If the Engineer removes a Summoner from play before that Summoner uses their ability, the Summoner uses their ability immediately."

  • 008 new Jinxes for Pit-Hag / Goon, Pit-Hag / Cult Leader & Pit-Hag / Politician: "If the Pit-Hag turns an evil player into the Goon/Cult Leader/Politician, they can't turn good due to their own ability."
