Role selection is the only functional difference between Classic and Draft, but the gameplay experience differs significantly. Each player has fifteen seconds to choose one of three roles or random, and random is picked automatically at the end of the timer if no selection is made. Instead of being randomly assigned a role, you are randomly assigned a number from 1-16, and this number dictates the order in which players pick their role. You can even alternate a set of roles to ensure that these roles are never present in the same game (I've seen this with Lovers and Hitman/Bodyguard many times).įor detailed role suggestions based on lobby size, check out this guide.

You can turn a Neutral off if that role keeps getting free wins, or you can alternately turn a role on to counter a gameplay issue (such as Pigeon to counter grouping). For Neutrals, you can choose any distribution from none (all Neutrals off), to four every game (4 Neutrals, all check marked). If your lobby really hates a role, you can turn it off. If your lobby really likes a certain duck role(s), you can check mark the role(s) and question mark everything else (or even turn some off). Overall, you have to have most of the goose roles on (and check marked) if you want to ensure that no one gets basic goose. Selecting ? for a lot of roles will result in players getting basic goose/duck, but ? can be good for Neutral roles as an optional choice (it makes the distribution of Neutrals less consistent). Roles with a ? have a chance of being in the role pool, and will be completely ignored if a certain type of role is filled by roles with check marks. Roles that have a check mark are guaranteed to be in the role pool, and most roles should be check marked or off. Players cannot be assigned roles that are off. There is more room for creativity regarding role claimingįor each role, you have three options: off, question mark (?), or check mark.While settings can be saved, you may need a preset for each map.

Settings may need to be changed between matches to keep games fair.

Creating fair lobby settings requires a certain amount of game knowledge.

Creating balanced lobbies with a small number of players is possible.

Role claiming is weaker because Assassin is always a possibility.

It is much easier to claim a role you are not as a result.Īchievements: Win 1,000 games of Classic or Draft. Each role has a special ability, and you never know what roles are in each game until players prove their role.

Geese win by completing their tasks or voting out all the killers, and the ducks win if the geese fail to fix certain sabotages, or if the number of living ducks equals or exceeds the number of living non-ducks (excluding Falcon/Pelican). When you start the game, you are assigned a role based on the lobby settings.

If your dodo partner dies before you finish your third task, you will switch to having a standard neutral task pool system.Ĭlassic is the primary game mode, and it has been part of the game since its launch. Most Neutrals: similar to geese, except your tasks are all fake.ĭueling Dodo you have 3 fake tasks as long as your dodo partner is alive, the completion of which will give you the ability to kill your dodo partner.

If you completed 8 tasks or less, you will be able to complete 8 minus the number of tasks you completed while you were alive, but they will be fake.ĭucks: same as geese, except you have a maximum of 2 fake tasks at a time plus tasks to activate sabotages. When you die: if you have completed 8+ tasks while alive, you will have no tasks when you die.

As long as you are alive, you will continue to be assigned new tasks until the pool is filled. Once one task is complete, another is assigned. The actual number of tasks that need to be completed is a multiplier based on the number of players.Įach goose is assigned 4 tasks initially plus any global tasks for the map. The relative size of the pool can be adjusted in the settings for Classic, but not Draft. With the task pool, there is a total number of tasks that need to be completed by all living geese to earn a task win. The task pool mainly applies to Classic, Draft, and Corruption, but also to Trick or Treat in a lesser extent.
