The 7-Player Fox Deck — Roles and Rules
Seat one Fox and a werewolf game stops being a two-sided tug-of-war and turns three-way. The village can wipe out the wolves — and if the Fox is alive at that moment, the Fox takes the game. "The brink of victory is the most dangerous step" — that tension runs to the last day.
The quickest way in: the '7P Fox Room'
The standard decks include exactly one Fox lineup.
| Role | Count | Faction |
|---|---|---|
| Villager | 2 | Village |
| Knight | 1 | Village |
| Seer | 1 | Village |
| Madman | 1 | Werewolf |
| Werewolf | 1 | Werewolf |
| Fox | 1 | Third |
7 players total (village 4 : werewolf faction 2 : third 1). Only one true Werewolf — but with the Madman and the Fox muddying the water, the reads run deep for a table this small.
Pick 'Choose Deck Preset' → '7P Fox Room' in the room-creation settings, and you're in.
The three laws of a Fox table
- Bites don't kill it. The werewolves' attack passes through the Fox — unhurt. "We bit them and nobody died" is a clue only the wolves receive — though a Knight's save produces the same night, so it never confirms.
- Divination kills it. A Seer checking the Fox kills it that night. ∴ This table's Seer carries two jobs: hunt the wolf, and run over the Fox. But the automatic first-night 'Not' never triggers the kill — it isn't the result of choosing a target.
- Alive at the end, it wins alone. Before either side closes out its win, it must re-count: "is the Fox already dead?"
Grown comfortable? Stretch to a 9-player custom
To build your own lineup, choose 'Custom (Free Selection)' in the room-creation settings and edit each role's count (3–13 players overall).
The recommended shape: take the standard '9P Medium Room' and swap its Madman for a Fox:
| Role | Count |
|---|---|
| Villager | 3 |
| Knight | 1 |
| Seer | 1 |
| Medium | 1 |
| Werewolf | 2 |
| Fox | 1 |
9 players total. With a Medium seated, executions get verified — but the Fox reads 'Not' to the Medium too, so "they came back innocent, and the village still can't win" stays on the table. And with two live wolves, the Fox hides more easily than in the 7-player version.
