Summary

"Each night*, choose a player: if they are or become drunk or poisoned tonight, you die."

The Acrobat dies when they find a drunk or poisoned player.

• Each night except the first, the Acrobat chooses a player. If the chosen player is sober and healthy, nothing happens. If the player is drunk or poisoned, the Acrobat dies.
• If the Acrobat is drunk or poisoned, they cannot die to their own ability.
• The Acrobat may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself.
• If the chosen player is sober and healthy at the time the Acrobat picks, but becomes drunk or poisoned later in the night, the Acrobat dies.
• The Acrobat does not learn if the player they selected was drunk, or poisoned, or both.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Acrobat. They point to a player. Put the Acrobat to sleep.

If the player the Acrobat pointed to is drunk or poisoned, or becomes drunk or poisoned at any time tonight, the Acrobat dies.
