Description

Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game of deduction for two teams: Villagers and Werewolves. The Villagers don't know who the Werewolves are, and the Werewolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate the Villagers one at a time. A Moderator (who isn't on a team) runs the game.

Ultimate Werewolf takes place over a series of game days and nights. Each day, the players discuss who among them is a Werewolf, and vote out a player. Each night, the Werewolves choose a player to eliminate, while the Seer learns if one player is a Werewolf or not. The game is over when either all the Villagers or all the Werewolves are eliminated.

Ultimate Werewolf, a new edition of the award-winning, best-selling werewolf title from Bézier Games, has been reimagined to allow new players to quickly get up and running, with a larger box, totally rewritten and simplified rules, and a guide for the included roles. With all-new art and a great new card design, it's the perfect way to introduce groups of 7-30 people to Werewolf.

Quotes (from this video)
  • potentially mysterium if you want so it's more of a party game you know want something that's gonna be like too crazy long and not too many rules mysterium is a great option for that Halloween party maybe that you're playing
  • I think ultimate werewolf gives you more room to tell funny stories that have kind of a Halloween or horror kind of flavor to them I think
  • don't be distracted by shiny things I'd you know you'll have time that time is running out all those cultists aren't lazing around I know they look like goofballs but they're up to no good and they're doing it quick so you gotta be hurry you have you hurry you got an objective just go for the objective don't be distracted by the bookcase over there looks like I might have is it a nice little shiny object yeah don't don't worry about that letter that's on the table just go get the ritual item
  • I don't know I don't know what my favorite best complicated game is sorry I'll have to get better at this part of the opening up about opinions things
  • I can't think of any well I put this a different way yes all the time
  • The highlight of it is getting to meet and see people who I've either met online who are also in in boardgame media that I like and respect and admire but also just many people who watch the show and to take the time to say hello and and share a moment with me that that's a really look I spent I spent a lot of time alone in this basement that sounds depressing doesn't it I don't mean it that way I'm very thankful I spent a lot of time alone though I I'm not in the midst of the people that I that I share the hobby with most of the time
  • The reason that happens is generally because their stock that can't be sold and so a company comes in and goes hey we'll take all that stock for really cheap you'll get at least something for it and then we'll repackage and we'll sell it at a markup so that they get a piece of the pie right so the stuff that's you know you're not gentle gonna find at terraformers in there or a wildlands or you know name whatever kind of game they're generally going to be other types that game doesn't mean they're bad games but they're probably not the games I'm seeking out
  • what is the fun did you have making those Space Hulk videos once upon a time they still stand out to me as some of the most fun videos you've made
