About the game
Get ready for a night of pure distrust and suspicious glances! In The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow: The Village, the rebuilding of the village wasn't as peaceful as it seems. After years of ruins, new settlers arrived bringing hope, but also bringing a dark secret: werewolves are hiding among the citizens. The festive atmosphere in the tavern can be interrupted at any moment by a scream of terror when the moon rises.

The big differentiator in this version is that you aren't just another face in the crowd. Besides having a secret role (which could be an innocent or a hungry predator), each player also takes on a profession or a business in the village. This adds an extra layer of strategy and interaction, as your character's abilities can influence the group's fate. This game works as both a standalone complete game and an expansion for the original version, but a heads-up: the card sizes differ from the base game, so be careful if you try to mix them!

The dynamic is classic: during the night, the werewolves choose a victim to eliminate. During the day, the village must debate, vote, and try to uncover the monsters before everyone is devoured. It's a game of pure social deduction, where the best liar wins. It's perfect for gathering a large group of friends and testing who is the best liar in the squad!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play only the Village version or do I need the original game?
You can play Village alone! It is a complete and standalone game.
How many players are needed for it to be fun?
The game shines with large groups, from 8 to 18 players. With fewer, the fun decreases.
How long does a game last?
It's very quick, usually between 30 to 30 minutes per round.
Is the game hard to learn?
Not at all! The rules are super simple; the real challenge is convincing others you are innocent.
Do the Village cards work in the original game?
Watch out! The card size in Village is different from the original game, so mixing them isn't recommended.
