Werewolf

Very similar to Mafia but with a folklore twist. Werewolves secretly prey on Villagers each night. During the day, everyone argues about who's a wolf. Special roles like the Seer and Witch add layers of strategy.

How to Play

  1. 1

    Assign roles on paper: Werewolves (roughly 1 per 4 players), Seer (1), Witch (1), and Villagers for the rest.

  2. 2

    A Moderator manages night and day phases — everyone else closes their eyes at night.

  3. 3

    Werewolves silently pick a victim each night.

  4. 4

    The Seer points to one player — the Moderator reveals whether they are a Werewolf.

  5. 5

    The Witch may use a healing potion once to save the victim, or a poison potion to eliminate someone.

  6. 6

    At dawn, the eliminated player is revealed and removed from the game.

  7. 7

    The village debates and votes to eliminate a suspected Werewolf.

  8. 8

    Play until all Werewolves are eliminated (Villagers win) or Werewolves match Villager count (Werewolves win).
