## Description
Fangs is a re-implementation of the acclaimed social deduction game Shadow Hunters, plunging players into an epic conflict between three factions: vampires, werewolves, and humans. Each participant secretly receives a character belonging to one of these teams, and the main challenge is to discover who their allies and enemies are at the table. While vampires and werewolves seek the annihilation of the opposing team to win, humans generally aim for survival, although some human characters may have hidden agendas and even align with one of the other factions. 

At the start of the game, the only information you have is your own identity. From there, deduction becomes your most powerful tool. Acting quickly can be advantageous to weaken the enemy team before they realize who is on their side, but be careful: a hasty move with limited information might lead you to eliminate a teammate, sabotaging your own faction. Each turn, players can choose to gather crucial information, find new equipment to strengthen their character, or attempt to attack (or even aid) another player. Different areas of the board influence what you can discover and with whom you can interact, and the unpredictability of certain cards and abilities means that the perfect plan may never go as expected. Get ready for lots of bluffing, twists, and tense decisions!
