Night Thieves: goal and players
Play Night Thieves online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- A game for 5 to 10. Each player is a house in the fareej. Roles are secret: thieves (1, 2 or 3), one guard, one detective, the rest neighbours. Thieves know each other.
- Night: everyone acts at once. Thieves pick a house to rob (most picks wins; a tie goes to the first pick). The guard protects a house (not the same one two nights running; their own only once). The detective checks one player: thief or not. Neighbours sleep.
- Dawn: the robbed player is out and their role is shown, unless the guard was there.
- Day: talk it over in chat or voice. Anyone can share a finding (“X is a thief” or “X is clean”), true or not. When everyone is ready, or time is up, everyone votes at once (or skips).
- Most votes is out and their role is shown. A tie, or as many skips as the top vote, puts nobody out.
- The neighbourhood wins when every thief is out. The thieves win when they equal or outnumber the rest.
- Out? Stay quiet: you can watch, but no hints.
