At the start of the game a moderator hands out a role card to each player, assigning them to either a small team of informed werewolves, who know each others identities, or uniformed villagers, who do not know any player identities. The game then alternates in phases of “night”, in which werewolves agree to covertly kill a villager, and “day", in which villagers debate the identities of the werewolves and vote to kill a suspect. Play continues until all of the werewolves have been killed, or until the werewolves outnumber the villagers.
There are NO DUPLICATES in the Werewolf House deck of over 36 different character cards. Each card features a unique, full color character illustration, so even after dozens of game rounds players will still be discovering new art.
CORE CARDS - The base version of the game can be played by 7-12 people, using 6-10 basic villager cards and 1-2 werewolf cards - all included in the Werewolf House deck.
ADVANCED CARDS - It’s fun to mix it up. Dozens of characters with unique abilities have been carefully curated to add complexity to the gameplay, without burdening the moderator with messy role management tasks.
