## Description
If you're into the whole 'who's who?' vibe of werewolf and mafia games but are looking for a more... let's say, 'meta' and inside-joke-filled twist, Shitty Werewolf might be your jam. The core is the same you already know: a group split between villagers and werewolves, with the beasts eating folks at night and the town executing someone by day, hoping to catch the culprit. The goal is simple: villagers want to eliminate the werewolves, and werewolves want to become the majority. What changes the game here are the bizarre roles and self-breaking rules, like the 'Socially Awkward Friend Who Hates Werewolf' or the 'Mansplainer.' It's not just about accusing your neighbor; it's about navigating the crazy social dynamics that emerge when a group tries to play together, with a touch of acidic humor and references that go beyond the game itself. Think of a Werewolf that makes a sharp commentary on itself and on us players, all while the chaos unfolds. It's for those who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and the absurd situations a group game can create. The rules can get a bit wild with special powers, but the heart of the fun is the discussion and bluffing. If you've ever found yourself thinking 'why are we playing this this way?' during a Werewolf game, Shitty Werewolf gives you the answer (and more questions!).
