About the game
Hey game enthusiasts! Ready for a classic that will test your bluffing and deduction skills? Ultimate Werewolf is the king of hidden roles games, where paranoia and laughter are guaranteed for large groups. The premise is simple, but the execution is full of twists: a quiet village is under attack by werewolves, and it's up to the villagers to figure out who these disguised beasts are before everyone becomes dinner. But beware, because the werewolves are among you, pretending to be good folk and trying to eliminate everyone one by one without being detected!

A moderator, who isn't on any team, guides the game through a series of days and nights. During the day, the villagers gather to discuss, accuse, and of course, vote on someone they believe to be a werewolf to be lynched. At night, while the villagers sleep, the werewolves awaken to choose their next victim. But not all is lost for the good guys! The Seer also wakes up at night to try and discover a player's true identity, bringing a vital clue to the villagers' team. The game ends when all werewolves are eliminated (villagers' victory) or when the werewolves outnumber the villagers (hairy beasts' victory).

This edition of Ultimate Werewolf, from Bézier Games, was designed to be super accessible. The rules have been rewritten and simplified, and the box comes with a guide for each role, making it easy for newcomers. With brand new art and a great card design, it's the perfect choice to introduce groups of 5 to 30 people to the Werewolf universe. So, gather your friends, prepare your best innocent face (or hungry wolf face!), and come have fun with this game that's pure social interaction and mystery!
