Most of us are based in Brighton UK and our regular Monday night home is the Caxton Arms. Check out our Meetup link for more Werewolf is a social deduction game similar to Mafia. Maybe you've tried One Night Werewolf or an online game called Town of Salem? Our version is based on 'Wherewolf' created by Christian Zoli and it's amazing - pretty easy to learn and difficult to master. A game typically
involves 12 - 20 players - we're usually based at the Caxton Arms in Brighton - but at times due to COVID we may be online using Zoom! There’s no board and no, we don't wear costumes. There are a few rules, lots of logic, hunches, bluffing and the buckets of shade! The game is set-up and organised by a Moderator (Mod is God... so we do what they say). The Moderator gives us each a secret role (villager or werewolf faction) and then over a couple of hours we play night and day phases trying to figure out who is who. The villagers want to burn all the werewolves at the stake and vote every day to decide who burns. Some characters have mystic powers and gain information as the game progresses - and this can help if they dare to share. Werewolves want to kill all the villagers - they know who the other wolves are and can bite each night. There may be a Jester or a Madman too for extra chaos but no-one knows for sure... and if we want to make things more complicated we can add other factions too - vampires, criminals or - we don't like to discriminate. Werewolf is a great way to meet people and we are a super friendly bunch... unless you're a wolf. New players are always welcome - you don’t need to know how to play (we love explaining) but here are the Base Game Rules (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_FZ44Cve4qcbHdrRUczbmxscG8/view).
