Team: Village
Doppelganger
The shapeshifter: he becomes the role of whoever he copies.
- Power
- At the start of the night, copies another player's card and becomes that role.
- At night
- Wakes up in position 1
- Win condition
- That of the copied role. If your card is swapped, its new owner becomes that role.
How to play this role
The Doppelganger wakes up before everyone else. He looks at another player’s card and immediately becomes that role, for the whole night and for the vote.
If he copies a role that acts at night (Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, Drunk, Insomniac…), he wakes up a second time with that role and acts like it. If he copies a Werewolf, he wakes up with the pack and the other wolves discover him.
The transformation is tied to the card: if a Robber or a Troublemaker moves the Doppelganger’s card, its new owner becomes the copied role. On Loup-Garou Sans Carte it is all handled automatically.
Strategies and tips
- Copying a Villager gives no power, but you know who is a villager: a sure ally in the debate.
- If you become a wolf, remember the player you copied is a wolf too: there are two of you to cover.
- In the morning, you can reveal your double identity to sow doubt: “I am the Doppelganger-Seer and I saw…”.
- Copying a wolf makes you a wolf… which the other wolves discover when they wake. Copying the Seer gives you one more vision.
