Summary
"I fail to see why a thief should be idolised just because he has a horse between his legs."
The Hijacker replaces a Townsfolk with a Traveller.
- This change happens during setup, and it does not revert if the Highjacker dies.
- The added Traveller always replaces a Townsfolk, not other character types.
- The added Traveller may be good or evil.
If the Hijacker brings the non-Traveller player count down to 6 players, the game becomes a Teensyville game. The Minion and Demon will not learn each other, and the Demon will not learn bluffs.
How to Run
While setting up the game, remove any one Townsfolk character token and add one Traveller character token. This Traveller token goes into the bag instead of the Townsfolk token.
Examples
The game is being set up for eight players, with five Townsfolk, one Outsider, one Minion, and one Demon. Because the Minion is the Hijacker, the Storyteller removes one Townsfolk tokens and adds a Gunslinger token. In total, four Townsfolk, one Outsider, one Minion, one Demon, and one Traveller tokens go in the bag for the players to draw from.
