How do you play Death Note 人狼?
The L-Team's primary objective is to identify and arrest Kira using an Arrest card. Conversely, the Kira-Team wins if they manage to kill L (the player embodying L) or if any two members of the L-Team are eliminated from the game. This creates a dynamic of deception and deduction, where each team tries to achieve its goal while concealing its identity and intentions.

Setup
Players are assigned roles (L-Team or Kira-Team) and receive cards; the Death Note and Arrest cards are placed face down.
The rules, step by step
Setup
The game begins with players secretly assigned to either the L-Team or Kira-Team. Each player receives a hand of cards. The Death Note card and the Arrest card are placed face down in the center of the playing area, ready to be used when certain conditions are met. The specific number of cards dealt to each player and the exact composition of the deck are determined by the number of players, ensuring a balanced game.
Objective
The L-Team's primary objective is to identify and arrest Kira using an Arrest card. Conversely, the Kira-Team wins if they manage to kill L (the player embodying L) or if any two members of the L-Team are eliminated from the game. This creates a dynamic of deception and deduction, where each team tries to achieve its goal while concealing its identity and intentions.
On your turn
During a player's turn, they must play one card from their hand, following the instructions written on it. These instructions can involve various actions such as 'Search (Right)' or 'Search (Left)', which cause players to pass cards in a specific direction, or 'Surveillance', which allows a player to view another player's hand. After playing a card, the player draws a new card to replenish their hand, maintaining a consistent number of cards throughout the game.
Scoring
The L-Team achieves victory if they successfully play an Arrest card on the player who is secretly Kira. The Kira-Team wins if L, the central figure of the L-Team, is eliminated from the game, or if any two players on the L-Team are eliminated. This dual win condition for the Kira-Team adds strategic depth, as they can pursue multiple paths to victory.
Game end
The game concludes immediately when one of the victory conditions is met. This means the game ends either when Kira is successfully arrested by the L-Team, or when L is eliminated, or when two members of the L-Team have been eliminated. The final outcome is then revealed, determining which team has won.
Tips
For strategic play, Kira has the unique ability to treat the Death Note card's number (0) as any desired number when playing it, offering flexibility in card interactions. Similarly, L can treat the Arrest card's number (1) as any desired number. Additionally, the 'Alias' card provides a one-time block against being eliminated by the Death Note, adding a layer of protection. Players should also be aware that using an Arrest card reveals L's identity, increasing the risk of being targeted by Kira.
