Players work together to collect a hoard of golden treasure, but danger is lurking. Among you are Traitors - and every time Night falls there's a good chance someone will attempt to commit murder under the cover of darkness. You could be the victim tonight, so keep your friends close, and your shield closer. Blackmail and trickery are all part of the game - feigning innocence and loyalty may increase your chances of surviving the NIGHT, but will you turn Traitor and commit the ultimate betrayal in the hope of keeping the hoard of gold coins to yourself?
