About the game
The third expansion to The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow, titled Characters, brings 24 cards that introduce 16 new roles and a series of event rounds that challenge the werewolf specialists. Among the characters are two sisters who can swap places during the night, an angel with its own objectives, cavalry with a rusty sword, and an actor who can assume different roles each day, creating confusion and unexpected twists. The core goal remains the same: protect the village, but now with more strategic options and more ways to mislead the hunters. Each card is larger and printed on cardstock, so it isn’t compatible with the cardboard tiles from the base set. The expansion retains the same voting and deduction mechanics but adds new layers of interaction, such as the sisters swapping roles and characters that change identity over the course of the game. If you enjoy mystery, bluffing, and voting games, this expansion will add extra spice to your table, bringing more variety and humor to every night of play. Additionally, the expansion can be played with 8 to 28 players, keeping the same 30‑minute duration. It’s a simple and fun way to extend the base game experience without buying a whole new set.
