Granny

Granny
Alignment
Village
Night Visiting Role
No
Abilities
Also known as the paranoid gun owner! Will shoot anyone who visits her during the night. Cannot die during the night. Can be converted, but will kill the converter (good for Yakuza, bad for Cultist). When tracked, the report will show that the granny visited him/herself. When tracked, anyone visiting the granny will also show as visiting him/herself

Abilities

• Anyone who visits the Granny, regardless of alignment, dies.
  • This only applies to visiting roles, so for example, the Watcher and Oracle will not die.
  • In group meetings, only the last member to vote the Granny will be killed.
• The Granny won't die, even if shot by the Vigilante, Mafia, or a Gunsmith gun.
• However, the Granny can be converted:
  • The Yakuza can yak the Granny and will die as usual
  • A Cultist will succeed in converting the Granny but if the Cult leader hammered, the entire Cult as well as Granny will die.
  • A Mason as well can mason the Granny but one mason will die.
• The Doctor will save someone who visited the Granny.

Strategies and Tactics

Playing As the Granny

• Make sure town sided power roles know your role and don't accidentally visit you at night!
• Try and act as a PR to trick the mafia into attempting to kill you. Attract as much attention as possible and draw that kill!
• In some setups without a protective role, it is a great idea to claim out loud and get everyone to claim to you.
  • Via whisper, you can post reports from the Cop, Tracker, and/or Watcher while keeping their identity secret.
• If there are multiple granny claims, they can be tested by having the vigilante/gunned/mason shoot/convert one, whilst having a doctor on the role as necessary.
• It may be helpful to claim as a Granny or a PR that is prone to being nightkilled without revealing which one you actually are. When the other Granny/PR claims, the mafia will not want to kill either of you, protecting the PR.
  • Example: "I am either the Granny or the doctor, but I'm not saying which one."
• Unlike the Bomb, the only way the mafia can kill you is with the help of a Strongman, so be prepared to lead to the end and help your side win.
• In games with a gunsmith, deputy or sheriff, you can prove that you are the Granny by surviving a shot.

Playing Against the Granny

• If for some reason you want to Cult the Granny, make sure anyone but the Cult leader hammers! Otherwise, it will result in everyone's deaths including the newly converted Granny.
• Mafia should avoid the Granny at all costs, including secondary visits like the Stalker. If someone accidentally visits the Granny, make sure you learn your lesson and pinpoint exactly who the Granny is so you can avoid them in future nights.
• If there are 3 mafia, the 3rd mafia should nk to avoid granny kill. This strategy is also useful when there is a Tracker in the setup.
  • With the game going unranked if it ends on n1, all 3 mafia voting n1 is optimal. Only on n2 should the 3rd mafia nk.
