About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a night of pure tension and bluffing with "One Night Werewolf"! Forget long nights and endless discussions, because here the action is fast and direct. In just one round, you and your friends receive secret roles – some are humans trying to survive, others are bloodthirsty werewolves, and there's also the Sorcerer and the Phantom Thief to add that extra spice. During the night, those with special abilities wake up quickly to pull off their tricks. Then, it's time for the truth: a frantic discussion to try and figure out who's lying and who the real culprit is. In the end, everyone votes to send someone away. If a werewolf is caught, the humans win. If an innocent is sacrificed, the werewolves celebrate! It's the perfect game for those who love to suspect everyone and have fun with unexpected twists. With games lasting less than 10 minutes, you can play multiple rounds in the same night and see who has the greatest talent for deceiving others. Ideal for livening up any party or gathering with friends who enjoy a good challenge of deduction and bluffing.
