Thread: For those looking for an interesting halloween party game...

I came across this game in a "Grab Bag" from a local game store, and found a link for an online version to share.

It is called "The Werewolf Game". it is your typical Party "Whodunnit/Murder" style game, with a small twist.

We have played it MANY times, and every time it gets more and more fun, as the acting and mood always seem to get better and better.

Basically two players are Werewolves, one player is a Seer, and the Rest are innocent villagers. Every "night", everyone closes their eyes. The werewolves open their eyes and get together to decide which villager they want to tear limb from limb, once they agree, they close their eyes. Then the Seer opens his/her eyes and picks a villager to guess if they are a werewolf. The MOderator either gives a thumbs up or down and the seer closes their eyes. The Moderator then tells everyone to open their eyes and announces who was killed by the werewolves. Then the Townspeople get together and decide who to lynch, who is then removed from the game, after revealing if they are a Werewolf, villager, or (oops!) the Seer. The cycle continues until one side wins.

Here is a link to the complete rules.

It can make for an EXTREMELY fun game, especially when people "plead their case" about being lynched or not.

Great idea! It sounds basically the same as the game Mafia, except with werewolves instead of mafia.

Werewolves of Millers Hollow is very similar (and is my favorite group party game.. All year long, but especially at Halloween!) You can get it on Amazon [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Asmodee-849418-Werewolves-Millers-Hollow/dp/B0009Z3M8S/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1287803535&sr=8-12"]http://www.amazon.com/Asmodee-849418-Werewolves-Millers-Hollow/dp/B0009Z3M8S/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1287803535&sr=8-12[/ame]
or local game stores.

So much fun, easy to learn/play and different every time!

Actually, yes, it is Mafia with Werewolves. =)
