About the game

What is Werwölfe?

Werwölfe is the ultimate game for even larger groups of all ages. Take on the role of a villager and unmask the werewolves. Or play a werewolf and convince the villagers of your innocence while you go hunting at night. Contents: 25 playing cards 1 character values card 1 instructions In addition, you need a note and pen. Note: This edition differs from 2014's Ultimate Werewolf, as it supports a different player count (6-24, while UW is 5-30). The biggest difference is in the characters, however - both editions have 12 Villagers, Seer, Witch and Hunter, but Werwölfe has only 6 Werewolves (rather than 8 in UW). In addition Werwölfe has the following roles: Healer, Red Riding Hood, Cupid and Mayor, whereas Ultimate Werewolf has: 2 Masons, Bodyguard, Sorceress, Spellcaster, Village Idiot and Wolf Cub.
