How to Play Werewolves: The Ultimate Party Game of Deception
What is Werewolves?
Werewolves is an exciting party game that combines deception, strategy, and social deduction. Players are secretly assigned roles as either Villagers or Werewolves, with the Villagers trying to identify and eliminate the Werewolves before they are picked off one by one.
How to Set Up the Game
Setting up Werewolves is simple, especially with the help of the app. Here's how to get started:
- Use the app to assign secret roles to all players. Roles include Villagers, Werewolves, and special characters like the Seer or Witch.
- Gather your group. Once roles are assigned, put away your devices. Now it’s time to play face-to-face!
The Phases of the Game
1. The Night Phase
During the Night Phase, all players close their eyes while the Werewolves secretly choose a player to eliminate. Any special characters, like the Seer or Witch, also use their abilities in secret. Once all actions are completed, the game proceeds to the Day Phase.
2. The Day Phase
When morning comes, the eliminated player is revealed, and the surviving players must figure out who among them are the Werewolves. Accusations fly, players defend themselves, and a vote is held to eliminate one player suspected of being a Werewolf.
How to Win
The game continues until one of two outcomes is reached:
- The Villagers win if they eliminate all the Werewolves.
- The Werewolves win if their numbers equal or exceed the Villagers.
Roles in Werewolves
The core of Werewolves revolves around the unique roles that players take on. Here are some of the key roles:
- Villagers: The majority of the players who must find and eliminate the Werewolves.
- Werewolves: The hidden enemies who eliminate Villagers at night.
- Seer: A special character who can check one player’s role each night.
- Hunter: If eliminated, the Hunter can take another player down with them.
Tips for Success
- Villagers: Pay attention to speech patterns and body language to spot the Werewolves.
- Werewolves: Stay calm and blend in with the group to avoid suspicion.
- Special Characters: Use your abilities strategically and at the right moment to turn the tide of the game.
