Werewolf In The Dark 2019

In an ancient forest there was a tiny village. The villagers had cut a clearing into the dark chaos of the forest and cultivated a space for the patterns of life to grow. Everyone knew everyone else’s name (and business) and the only dramas in the village were small ones. In short, it was peaceful.

But all that changed when, one night, a wolf’s howl split the darkness.

OVERVIEW

Werewolf in the Dark is a game of hidden roles, deception, strategy, and, above all else, survival. When the lights go out some are afraid—they hide and hope. Others know that it is up to them to protect their fellow villagers and drive back the monsters menacing them. Still others begin to the feel the dark stirrings of a terrible hunger and rise to hunt.

Werewolf in the Dark is played in two alternating rounds: night and day. Players join one of two teams: the village team or the monster team. Each night the lights go out and players get up and venture out to hide or hunt. The players on the monster team are trying to kill the other players by covertly tapping them on the shoulder until all the villagers are dead. The villagers are trying to survive the night round and gather information about the identities of the monsters among them. When the first dead body is found, the lights come on and the day round begins. All players then gather together to discuss what happened in the night round and vote someone out of the game. The game continues until there are only monsters or villagers left.
