Released in 2024, BGG’s “Cidade Dorme” brings together up to 30 people for a night of intrigue. Players receive cards that reveal secret roles—assassin, common citizen, or one of several special characters such as the investigator or the collector. The game unfolds in night‑and‑day cycles: at night the assassin secretly chooses a victim, while investigative characters attempt to uncover the killer. When night ends, the victim is announced and removed from play, and the discussion begins. Remaining players vote on whom they suspect to be the assassin; the chosen player reveals their role and also exits. The assassin’s goal is to balance the number of “good” and “bad” players (assassin + collector), while citizens aim to eliminate both. The dynamic requires negotiation, bluffing, deduction, and a moderator to keep the flow. “Cidade Dorme” works best with a large group—seven or more—and can last from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on voting speed and discussion length. Components are simple: a deck of cards, voting tokens, and a phase marker. For those who enjoy party games with heavy interaction, this title offers intense role‑playing, with unexpected twists. The traitor mechanic means even “good” players can be deceived, keeping tension high. If you’re looking for a game that blends strategy and psychology, “Cidade Dorme” has it all, but remember that the need for a moderator and a minimum player count can limit convenience in some groups.
