Also known as Mafia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... which is my favorite social group game. You can play with just a deck of cards too if you're short on supplies.
boom! Beautiful job, Matthew. Love Werewolf. Not hard to play without the cards, but they make it more approachable for more people. This will show up in several stockings this year...
There have been several takes on the parlor game Werewolf, but I wanted to tackle it in a new way. Role-playing games can leave prospective players timid about playing and thus skewing their game experience. By creating a more modern style and good documentation of the game I believe I have removed that barrier and opened the game to everyone who thought, "It's just not my thing."
@mathewsisson massive fan of this game, but its a shame there is no app that goes along side this (like the well known one night ultimate werewolf version http://boardgamegeek.com/boardga...). I've found the app (that acts as moderator and has spooky werewolf-like sound effects in the background) adds a really fun element to the game, swapping this out for a person means that that person can't play also which means if you are a small group it lessens the playability a bit.
Beautifully done. Would be nice to see a collection of these kinds of classic games, redesigned in this fashion.
Nice package. The hard part on games that can be played for free is finding value to sell.
Just the thing to play on thanksgiving with the family.
What is the status with the rights to sell this game? Doesn't someone own the original game?
@timithmcdoyle Resistance is similar to Werewolf in a lot of ways (it's in my game collection as well). I think the biggest difference would be the voting and strategy behind revealing people's roles.
Great points, @mathewsisson . The modern style definitely removes the negative preconceptions associated with card games, I'm excited to share this game with my friends!
