Curator

The Curator is a night role in One Night Ultimate Werewolf Daybreak.

Ability
The Curator, when they wake up, places an Artifact Token on any player's card that doesn't have one, including their own. There are 6 artifact tokens.

Note: Role changing Artifacts overwrite Cards and Marks


 * The Claw of the Werewolf: turns someone into a werewolf
 * The Cudgel of the Tanner: turns someone into a Tanner
 * The Brand of the Villager: turns someone into a villager
 * The Mask of Muting: makes it so that someone cannot talk
 * The Shroud of Shame, which makes someone face away from other players. Can talk and attempt to vote
 * The Void of Nothingness, does nothing

In the Bonus Roles expansion, there are six new tokens


 * Bow of the Hunter: turns a player into a Hunter
 * Sword of the Bodyguard: turns a player into a Bodyguard
 * Cloak of the Prince: turns a player into a Prince
 * Mist of the Vampire: turns a player into a Vampire
 * Dagger of the Traitor: turns a player into a Traitor who wants to kill someone on their team
 * Alien Artifact: turns a player into an Alien

Strategy

 * The Curator has no secret information because the player with an Artifact Token is revealed to all
 * It plays similar to the Villager, but the Werewolves will be aware that the Curator is in play.
 * If you receive an Artifact Token from a Curator (or you are the Curator and give it to yourself) and it is the Claw of the Werewolf, or a Cudgel of the Tanner, you should lie about the Artifact you received, preferably the Mask of Muting or Shroud of Shame, as they require a large act to pull off
 * If you have the Bonus Roles expansions, claim to be a Hunter, Price, or Bodyguard and only the Mask of Muting or Shroud of Shame every once in a while since they are less likely for you to receive them
 * You also should name the full name of the Artifact instead of saying just Villager, Shame, Prince so it sounds more legitimate
 * Werewolves should, if possible, avoid framing the player with the Artifact Token as they are likely either a new Werewolf or a Tanner
 * With the Bonus Tokens, the Cloak of the Prince and Bow of the Hunter can also be troublesome
 * A Werewolf who gained the Brand of the Villager can out their fellow Werewolves
 * A Werewolf who didn't can frame Villagers in this way.
 * Anyone who gained the Cudgel of the Tanner can use either strategy, in the hope that it makes them look suspicious

Role Selection

 * The Curator can be somewhat of a wildcard, as it creates a player who can never be verified by anyone else. Players will just have the Artifact player's words and actions to go by.
 * Because of this, the Curator is recommended in bigger groups, where it can cause a little chaos without making the game feel like it's up to a coin toss.
 * Make sure every player knows what every artifact does beforehand
 * Only include the Artifacts for the villain teams that are actually in the game.
 * The other Bonus Artifacts are recomended for advanced players. Not because they are significantly more complex than the other artifacts, but because it can be hard to track a large number of artifacts for new players.
