About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a night of mystery and bluffing with Trick-Taking Werewolf! This quick 10-20 minute game blends the tension of deduction with the thrill of trick-taking, all wrapped up in a spooky werewolf theme.

In each game, players are divided into two teams: werewolves and students. The goal is straightforward: students want to catch all the werewolves, and werewolves want to survive until the end. How? Through 5 rounds of trick-taking. Whoever wins a trick gets to accuse someone of being a werewolf and banish them. If the students manage to eliminate all werewolves before the fifth trick, they win. But beware! If at least one werewolf survives until the end, the pack celebrates.

It's a super accessible game, perfect for those who want something fast-paced but with a dash of strategy and social interaction. The trick-taking mechanic is easy to grasp, but the deduction and hidden roles are what add the special flavor. You'll need to pay attention to who plays what, who accuses whom, and try to figure out who your friend is and who the disguised enemy is. Ideal for groups who enjoy social deduction games and classic card mechanics but want something that won't take all night. If you like feeling like a detective or a cunning wolf, this game is for you!
