## Description
Fist of the North Star x One Night Werewolf is the explosive mash‑up of the post‑apocalyptic world of Hokuto no Ken and the classic party game One Night Werewolf. In just 5‑10 minutes, 3‑8 players take on iconic characters from the series—like Kenshiro, Raoh, or the dreaded Amiba—and receive a secret role: either part of the heroes' team or masquerading as the villain Jagi. The round starts with card distribution that determines who’s genuine and who’s faking. Then comes a brief discussion phase where each player tries to convince others of their loyalty or sow doubt. Mechanics of bluffing, voting, and variable powers keep the pace frantic: you can wield your character’s unique ability to sway a vote or protect someone. At the end, players vote on who they think the traitor is; if the villain is eliminated, the heroes win, otherwise Jagi or Amiba claim victory. The game blends the tension of a traitor experience with the energy of a party game, requiring minimal setup and almost no prior learning. Components are simple—illustrated card decks and a few voting tokens—but the artwork captures the series’ brutality and humor, enhancing immersion. Perfect for quick meet‑ups, game nights, or anyone who loves a solid deduction challenge with a nostalgic 80s manga flavor.
