App version 3.29.0 is live now - Alsaahir and the Standalone App Update
🕑 Added 2024-06-28 12:06:51 +0000 UTCHowdy Folks.
A major update just went live, adding a brand new Townsfolk as well as some significant changes to the standalone versions.
π added Alsaahir and character release script "AL VS AL 2.3" by Ekin
π updated app build infrastructure and standalone release process (replaced Webpack/Electron with Vite/Tauri)
there are now 2 standalone apps for Mac, depending on whether you're using Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) or an Intel Mac
the standalone app should now update itself automatically whenever there is a new version available
this has the unfortunate side effect, that the standalone Linux version currently does not offer mic / cam support
π game balance update 029: new ability text for Harpy: "Each night, choose 2 players: tomorrow, the 1st player is mad that the 2nd is evil, or one or both might die."
π game balance update 028: new ability text for Plague Doctor: "If you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability."

π game balance update 025: updated Jinxes for Organ Grinder / Minstrel & Preacher: "If the Minstrel makes everyone drunk/Preacher removes the Organ Grinder ability, the Organ Grinder keeps their ability but the Minstrel/Preacher keeps their eyes open when voting."
π game balance update 024: removed Jinx for Organ Grinder / Flowergirl (was "If the Organ Grinder is causing eyes-closed voting, the Flowergirl wakes tonight to choose a player: they learn if that player voted today. (instead of their normal ability)")

π game balance update 022: updated Jinx for Al-Hadikhia / Mastermind: "If the Al-Hadikhia dies by execution, and the Mastermind is alive, the Al-Hadikhia chooses 3 good players tonight: if all 3 choose to live, evil wins. Otherwise, good wins."
π game balance update 014 / 021: updated Jinx for Lil' Monsta / Magician: "Each night, the Magician chooses a Minion: if that Minion & Lil' Monsta are alive, that Minion babysits Lilβ Monsta."
π game balance update 019: new ability text for Lil' Monsta: "Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & 'is the Demon'. Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]"
π game balance update 018: Ogre has received a "Friend" reminder token to support the optional rule
π game balance update 017: new Jinx for Soldier / Kazali: "If the Kazali turns the Soldier into a Minion, the Soldier chooses which not-in-play Minion to become."

The standalone app is only available for Mac, Windows and Linux. Mobile apps are not available yet.

As far as I read it it works the following way: - Each night, the magician chooses a minion that is on the script. If that minion is in play and alive, and if Lil' Monsta is alive (guess a Mastermind would be one case how this could not be the case with the game still going), then that minion holds Lil' Monsta. This gives the magician an actual use for the good team, as his ability is a hindrance in a Lil' Monsta game (the minions learn who the magician is and they know each other). If the good team figures out which minions are in play and which player is a particular minion, then the magician player can force that minion to hold Lil' Monsta.

Can someone explain the Lil' Monsta / Magician jinx? I've read it like 50 times and I still don't understand it.

I believe they're only win/mac/linux desktop apps. You can find them on the github page: https://github.com/ThePandemoniumInstitute/botc-release

Iβm looking forward to testing out it the standalone app! But I donβt understand, where can I find it? I have iPhone 14 Pro.
