Thief's goal is to collect as much gold as possible. All other players are given 10 gold bars and thief steals 1 gold bar off each villager during night phase, unless he happens to be exiled on this night. Thief's victory depends if they have the most gold of all players by the end. And if they don't -- they become sole loser.


Village where thief ends up on the last round loses (unless thief fails to achieve maximum gold). Player in the other village with the most gold remaining is the winner (with or without the thief, depending on thief's gold count).

Each 2 rounds all players are shown their gold bar count. But they are only shown 8 numbers without saying which number belongs to whom. Using this information villagers can figure out the identity of the thief (because depending on where thief is: big village, small village or exile, he will steal different amount of gold).

Results after round 4 are the same as after round 2! This means that thief spent both nights in exile unable to gain points which means it WAS Sunggyu and he was telling the truth after all. Sangmin and Kyungran had the perfect chance to earn thief's cooperation (which pretty much wins the game) and they blew it by not trusting him and bluntly refusing the proposal.

Game is played over 10 rounds. Each round consists of day and night phases. During the day villagers choose to exile someone among themselves through majority vote. Exiled players from both villages then spend the "night" in the hall and then go to the other village.

Sunggyu burned by Sangmin's distrust, comes back to big village. Now that big village knows who thief is, they can keep him inside by majority voting anyone but the thief to exile and then send him to small village on the last round.


Next round Sangmin comes to big village on his knees begging for Sunggyu's forgiveness. Kyungran comes after that as well and pleads to Sunggyu as well. It seems like big village has it in the bag, but Gura makes game-ruining mistake. He wants to save up gold and because he can't do it while the thief is in the same village with him he wants to run away from Sunggyu for a round or two. He goes to small village while Yuram joins her teammates in the big village.


Now all original inhabitants of small village are in big village and they have the thief AND majority vote to keep themselves together while sending people from former big village back. Big and small village basically switched places.


This is the end for "big village" team. They have nothing to do but getting bounced back and forth by "small villagers" who have occupied their home.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: "Big village" team are a really bad fit. Jinho and Gura have been the leaders of opposing alliances for a while, Poong has betrayed both of them, Eunji is neither here nor there and Sunggyu is the theif who is after his own interests. Gura's authoritative style of play rubs Jinho the wrong way especially.

8 remaining players are divided between big and small villages. 5 people go to big village and 3 to small village. One of the 8 secretly takes on a role of "thief".


Game is played over 10 rounds. Each round consists of day and night phases. During the day villagers choose to exile someone among themselves through majority vote. Exiled players from both villages then spend the "night" in the hall and then go to the other village.


Thief's goal is to collect as much gold as possible. All other players are given 10 gold bars and thief steals 1 gold bar off each villager during night phase, unless he happens to be exiled on this night. Thief's victory depends if they have the most gold of all players by the end. And if they don't -- they become sole loser.

Each 2 rounds all players are shown their gold bar count. But they are only shown 8 numbers without saying which number belongs to whom. Using this information villagers can figure out the identity of the thief (because depending on where thief is: big village, small village or exile, he will steal different amount of gold).


Players draw lots and villages form as follows: Jinho, Poong, Gura, Eunji and Sunggyu go to big village. Sangmin, Kyungran and Yuram are in a small village. Two teams naturally form around these initial placings.


First exiles are Sangmin and Poong. Sangmin specifically volunteered to go to other village to try to sniff out information or maybe recruit players to their side. Same two exiles are then sent back (so that gold count doesn't get too confusing). Gold bar numbers after round 2 are:


10 10 10 10 8 8 8 6


It's obvious that thief is the one with 6 gold and because thief gained 3 gold bars in each round, it has to be someone in the big village who was not exiled. So it's either Eunji, Sunggyu, Gura or Jinho.


Big village then sends Sunggyu to test the waters and small village sends Yuram. Upon arriving Sunggyu confesses that he's the thief to his sunbae Sangmin. Sangmin thinks it's some kind of trick and exiles him back to big village.


Results after round 4 are the same as after round 2! This means that thief spent both nights in exile unable to gain points which means it WAS Sunggyu and he was telling the truth after all. Sangmin and Kyungran had the perfect chance to earn thief's cooperation (which pretty much wins the game) and they blew it by not trusting him and bluntly refusing the proposal.


Sunggyu burned by Sangmin's distrust, comes back to big village. Now that big village knows who thief is, they can keep him inside by majority voting anyone but the thief to exile and then send him to small village on the last round.


Next round Sangmin comes to big village on his knees begging for Sunggyu's forgiveness. Kyungran comes after that as well and pleads to Sunggyu as well. It seems like big village has it in the bag, but Gura makes game-ruining mistake. He wants to save up gold and because he can't do it while the thief is in the same village with him he wants to run away from Sunggyu for a round or two. He goes to small village while Yuram joins her teammates in the big village.


Now all original inhabitants of small village are in big village and they have the thief AND majority vote to keep themselves together while sending people from former big village back. Big and small village basically switched places.


This is the end for "big village" team. They have nothing to do but getting bounced back and forth by "small villagers" who have occupied their home.


In the last round Jinho, Poong and Gura have to determine who to send back to big village. Remaining two players will go to deathmatch automatically because they will be the only losing two players. Gura has clearly lost his taste for this entire affair and actively wants out, so he lets Jinho and Poong play rock-paper-scissors over who will go to big village. Poong wins and Jinho and Gura are left to lose.


Deathmatch game is Indian Poker and Jinho eventually wins eliminating Kim Gura.


!!Tropes:
* DeathSeeker: Gura in Deathmatch.
* MistakenForAnImposter: Sunggyu comes clean about being a thief, but gets rejected.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Gura's attitude at the end of an episode.
