About the game
Hey board game enthusiasts! Ready for a werewolf hunt in your village? In Silver, your village is overrun by these nocturnal creatures, represented by the numbers on your cards. The goal is simple yet addictive: be the player with the fewest werewolves at the end of a few rounds. But don't be fooled, the simplicity hides a strategic depth that will hook you! Each player starts with five face-down cards, forming their village, and can peek at two of them. The cards, numbered 0 to 13, not only indicate the number of werewolves they attract but also possess unique special abilities. On your turn, you'll draw a card from the deck or discard pile. From there, the decision is yours: discard the drawn card to activate (or not) its power, or use it to replace one or more cards from your village. The trick is that you can only replace multiple cards if they bear the same number, and you must reveal them to prove it. If you're wrong, there's a penalty, so be careful! Call for a vote when you think you're the werewolf-saving champion, but remember: other players get one last chance to save their own hides. Silver is a fast, engaging card game with a werewolf twist, perfect for those who enjoy a strategic challenge with a dash of memory and bluffing. And the best part: it can be played as a standalone game or combined with other versions of the Silver series, each with different card abilities to keep the experience fresh!
