Who’s up for a game of Werewolf?

11 Comments

Since the Twins' season is basically over and today's game is going nowhere fast, I propose we play a game of Werewolf. For those of you who have played Mafia before, it's basically the same game.

If you're interested in playing, send me an email. My email address is (mynamehere)@gmail.com. I'd like to get around 7-9 players. Once we have enough players, I will declare registration over and send you your role via email. For those of you who are werewolves, I will also tell you the identities of your fellow werewolves. Here's how it works:

The goal of the villagers is to kill all the werewolves before they are outnumbered.  If they do so, the villagers are declared the winners (even the villagers who have been killed).  If at any point the werewolves outnumber the villagers during the day, they can simply come out and kill everyone, so they win.  The thing that makes this tricky is that during the day, everybody looks like a villager, so the villagers have no idea who among them is actually a werewolf.  On the other hand, the werewolves know who each other are.

The game consists of two phases--a day phase and a night phase.

DAY PHASE:  Debate begins between everybody in the village and everybody gets to vote for somebody to eliminate.  Once a single player has a majority, I will declare it to be NIGHT.  That player will be killed and his or her role will be revealed.

NIGHT PHASE:  Everybody in the village goes to bed (i.e. no posting is allowed).  The werewolves will select a villager to kill and send the name to me via email.  Once I get a name from the werewolves, I will declare it to be DAY.  That villager's name will be revealed and he will be dead.

Once a player is killed, they are out of the game forever.  So no posting when you're dead!   The game ends when all the werewolves are dead or the werewolves outnumber the villagers during the day.  There are other "special" roles that can be added which add intrigue and complexity to the game.

The actual game will take place over at Spooky's blog.

  1. i'm not quite sure i fully understand, but i'll bite.

    1. Awesome! Send an email to greekhouse@...

      That will make it easier for me to keep track of players.

  2. I'm thinking of making this first game a "long" game with days of length no more than 24 hours. This way, people don't necessarily have to be around for a few hours to get the game done, they just have to check the game a few times per day.

  3. I played this once at a party. It would have been more fun, but my company got bored and decided to make a drinking game out Girls Gone Wild videos.
