WerewolfWerewolf

Goal of the game

- For the villagers:

eliminate the

werewolves

- For the werewolves:

eat the villagers

WerewolfWerewolf

Each night, one villager is

devoured by the werewolves

During the day they try to

hide their identities to

avoid being hanged.

Each morning the surviving

villagers come together and

try to discover who the

werewolves are.

WerewolfWerewolf

It’s night and the entire

village is sleeping.

All players close your eyes

The werewolves wake up,

Recognise each other and

choose a new victim

WerewolfWerewolf

It’s morning and the

village wakes up

All players open your eyes

The Narrator points out any

victims the werewolves ate

during the night
