This is a warm and welcoming village where kind-hearted residents have taken in refugees fleeing disaster. Unbeknownst to them, amidst the growing crowd and unfamiliar faces, two werewolves have slipped in, disguising themselves as humans. As day and night alternate, the werewolves seek to kill and replace the villagers, while the humans must uncover and execute these hidden threats. A deadly struggle between life and death is about to unfold.
The Village of Werewolves is a 2-player “Ameritrash”-style board game centered around a voting mechanism. The two players take on asymmetric roles: the Wolf Leader and the Investigator, each with different actions and victory conditions. The Wolf Leader aims to eliminate enough villagers under the cover of night so that werewolves can take their place within the village. The Investigator must analyze information from the dead and use daytime voting to identify and execute the hidden werewolves among the population.
