Dive into the thrilling world of *Town of Salem*, where murder, accusations, deceit, and mob hysteria collide in an exhilarating social deduction game. With player counts ranging from 7 to 15, you're thrust into a chaotic society where you must navigate through the roles of Town, Mafia, Serial Killers, Arsonists, and Neutrals.

Night
Under the cloak of night, the game truly comes alive. This is when most roles flex their abilities. Serial Killers embark on their deadly missions, Doctors work tirelessly to heal the wounded, and Sheriffs delve into investigations to root out suspicious behavior.
Day

Defense
In the defense phase, your storytelling skills are put to the test. Whether you're spinning a tale of innocence or fabricating an alibi, your ability to convince the town could mean the difference between life and a swift trip to the gallows.
Judgement
The moment of truth arrives during the judgement phase, where the town casts their votes on the defendant's fate. You can vote guilty, innocent, or abstain. If guilty votes outnumber the innocent ones, the accused meets their end by hanging.
