Quick Answer
To use One Night Ultimate Bonus Roles, shuffle the bonus role cards into the appropriate role deck and follow the standard One Night setup, swapping in any roles you want to try. The included Artifact and Number Tokens work exactly like those in the base games, so you can mix them in without changing the core rules.
Why Bonus Roles Are Worth Adding
One Night Ultimate Bonus Roles compiles the extra roles, Artifact Tokens, and Number Tokens from the first four Bonus Packs into a single box. That means you get a wide variety of new roles without hunting down multiple packs. Since these roles are designed to work with any One Night game, you can drop them into One Night Ultimate Werewolf, One Night Ultimate Vampire, or any other title in the series.
The main trade-off is that adding too many new roles at once can slow down the game and confuse players who are still learning the base roles. Start with one or two new roles per game and gradually increase as your group gets comfortable.
How to Integrate Bonus Roles
- Choose Your Roles: Pick one or two new bonus roles that fit your group's experience level. Read their role descriptions aloud before the game so everyone understands what they do. Check that the role's night action doesn't conflict with any roles already in your game.
- Shuffle and Set Up: Shuffle the selected bonus role cards into the main role deck, then deal out roles as you normally would. If you're using Artifact Tokens, place them in the center with the other tokens. Make sure every player knows which tokens are active before the game starts.
- Play a Test Round: Run a practice round with the new roles to see how they interact. This helps avoid confusion during a real game and lets players ask questions in a low-pressure setting. If a role feels overpowered or confusing, swap it out for a different one next round.
What You Get in the Box

One Night Ultimate Bonus Roles: One Night Ultimate Bonus Roles contains all the extra Roles, Artifact Tokens, and Number Tokens featured in the One Night Ultimate Bonus Packs (1-4), with the exception of alternative artwork cards.
