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
Assign roles on paper: Werewolves (roughly 1 per 4 players), Seer (1), Witch (1), and Villagers for the rest.
- 2
A Moderator manages night and day phases — everyone else closes their eyes at night.
- 3
Werewolves silently pick a victim each night.
- 4
The Seer points to one player — the Moderator reveals whether they are a Werewolf.
- 5
The Witch may use a healing potion once to save the victim, or a poison potion to eliminate someone.
- 6
At dawn, the eliminated player is revealed and removed from the game.
- 7
The village debates and votes to eliminate a suspected Werewolf.
- 8
Play until all Werewolves are eliminated (Villagers win) or Werewolves match Villager count (Werewolves win).
