The players are split such that around a quarter are Witches (or aliens, or coppers etc). The remaining players are villagers.

The few witches hide in the woods and after a short while the villages must leave the safety of their hut (one of the bases) to hunt for a witch. Once a Witch has been found/tagged, the villager shouts &lsqo;Witch Converted’ and all the other villages (now including the caught former-Witch) must run to the safety of their village (touch the base). However any other witches can spring out from hiding and tag (convert) as many villagers as possible.

Once everyone is either a safe villager or a witch, then the witches hide again and play resumes.

The game ends after a predefined time period or after all players are either villagers or Witches.
