“Each night, you know what happens to whoever picks up the phone when it rings tomorrow: they learn what happens too.”
Each night, write an effect on a piece of paper or on a phone or other device. Wake the Dealer, show to them the effect, then put them to sleep.
Once per day, at any time, declare that the Dealer's phone is ringing, & if a player picks up the phone, take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. Privately, tell them what the effect is — mark them with the PICKED UP reminder. Use the ? reminders as necessary.
<aside> 📌 If you want, you can use an actual phone and tell the player what happens through it.
Optional rule: The players decide amongst themselves which player will pick up the phone. If exactly one player cannot be decided upon, then no-one may pick up the phone today.
If players are becoming physical, or unsportsmanlike, consider adding in this rule.
