Similar to Mafia, the social deduction game that pits two groups against each other, Werewolf has competitors play as villagers, defending their theoretical homes with every fiber of their being. Among them is a Werewolf, framing their friends and accusing them of wanting to destroy the village. Each game becomes an epic phenomenon, designed to test your personal judgement and moral character. The multiplayer game takes up to 16 players per round.

Play the game you know and love in classic mode or try something different with the various exciting modes available. The Rule Your Room feature can be used to round up friends in the Fun Room and set up a game with your favorite house rules. Adding a twist on the traditional game play, from here you can use new cards like the “Discard All” card to completely remove one color from your hand. Or use the popular “7-0” house rule to swap hands with someone else.
