In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, a demon walks among you... During a hellish thunderstorm, exactly at midnight, a terrifying scream rings out. The villagers rush to investigate and find the village narrator murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clock tower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A demon has broken loose, killing in the night and disguised as a human during the day. Some have snippets of information. Others have skills to fight evil or protect the innocent. But the demon and his devilish minions spread lies to sow confusion and raise suspicion. Will the good villagers put the pieces together in time to unmask the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil take over this once peaceful village? Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game played by 5 to 20 players in opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a narrator player who directs the action and makes crucial decisions. The aim of the game is to successfully hunt down and execute the demons before they outnumber the villagers. During the 'day' phase, players socialize openly and whisper privately to exchange knowledge or spread lies, resulting in a player's execution if the majority suspects them to be Evil. During the 'night' time, players close their eyes and are awakened one by one by the narrator to gather information, cause unrest or kill. The narrator uses the game's intriguing pieces to guide each game, allowing others to play freely without a table or board. Players stay in the action until the end, even if their characters are killed, and haunt Ravenswood Bluff in an attempt to win from the afterlife. If you arrive late to a game, you can join after it starts as a powerful character called the Traveler, with unusual talents and questionable loyalties. Each character has their own special ability and no two players ever have the same character in a game.

The game uses the familiar "pick & pass" or "hand drafting" mechanism for players to add new structure cards to their base. Each hand of cards represents a convoy of experts and equipment traveling between the players' outposts, giving the player the choice of one new structure each turn. In a new twist on the genre, each hand always contains a card that grants a special free action each turn before being given to the next player. In the three different eras of the game, players compete for majority control in 5 aspects of their bases: housing, transportation, science, industry, and food production. At the end of each era, the leader collects bonus victory points in each of these areas. Each game also contains a number of randomly selected 'reputation' cards that provide one-time or ongoing bonuses to the player who meets the requirements.
