Bezier Games Ultimate Werewolf Deluxe Edition

Bought a copy of this game after playing with some friends over the weekend. Just to clarify, Amazon sent me the wrong version. I received the deluxe version with the HUNTING PARTY expansion instead of the WOLFPACK expansion. I'm actually happy about this because I consider the HUNTING PARTY expansion to be the better of the two. The Breakdown: - It says you can play with as few as 5 people, but you should probably have at LEAST 6 (one to be game master). The more the better though, and it's not always easy to get a group that large together. - Sometimes the cards are vague and don't explain themselves well enough, so go over the rules for each card with everyone before starting any games. - Beautiful artwork! - Probably some of the most fun I've had playing games. We don't exactly play it PG, and alcohol only makes it more enjoyable. - Clever game play, and there are FOUR expansions that add new dimension. - I feel like deck protectors are a smart purchase to make with this depending on how rough your pals are with cardstock The Bottom Line: So. Much. Fun. All the lying and ridiculous accusations make for really animated and hilarious games. Switching out cards every round makes the game super dynamic and gives everyone a chance to play various roles in a very short period of time. Super easy to pick up, and it's so compact I'll gladly take it with me to every get-together and party.

I've had a lot of success using this with a large group (10-25 people). Players are given a "role". Most players are villagers, but a few are secretly werewolves, and the villager team must eliminate the werewolves before the werewolves eliminate the villagers. What's great about the deluxe version is that it adds a LOT of roles. There are plain villagers, but also many other options that you can mix in to keep things fresh. The "seer" can try to find werewolves at night. The "revealer" can try to guess who a werewolf is, but at the risk of being eliminated. You can add roles that have their own goals, outside of the villagers and werewolves. Compared to other "werewolf" games, this is a great choice, especially for larger groups. The regular "ultimate werewolf" is the same game, just with fewer cards. "One night werewolf" is similar, but is a shorter game for a little smaller group. Overall, a great game.

I played this game a few times with friends. Our group size varied between 6 to 12. It should be noted that one need not buy anything to play Werewolf. It's just as easy to look up the basic rules on Wikipedia and scratch out characters on 3"x5" notecards. Very fun and amusing. The key to success is in the narrators ability to keep the game moving. I found the hardest part of the game is initiating the lynching during day break. Most people I play with don't want to accuse others of wrong doing without having a hint of suspicion. That's where a good narrator is most important. The job of a narrator is to be impartial, but when playing in a totally passive crowd, the game can become stagnant. A good narrator will keep things lively and possibly throw in seeds of suspicion. Think of the old Bud Light beer commercials of the guy that starts the argument of "tastes great" vs "less filling". That narrator need not root out the wolf. That would be cheating. Provoking suspicion with a side story will definitely help in keeping the game in motion. As for this particular version of the game, I give it a 5 star rating. $20 may seem like a lot for a mere deck of cards for a simple parlor game, but it's $20 of saved time and the cards provide a nice theme. This version also has several variations of characters to help keep the game interesting. I've seen other pre printed cards for this game and I find this to be the best of the bunch. Tasteful artwork with amusing characters. The quality of the box and packaging is top notch.

We LOVE this game! It's simple enough that just about anyone can play it! We played with my 10 year old brother and my parents who love simple games (Uno/LCR etc.) The entire fun of this game is in the interactions. It's a fantastic ice breaker game for group dates and can accommodate a MASSIVE number of players at once. All that anyone holds is a single card each round. You could even turn these in to the moderator. We found that this game is most fun with groups of 7+. Smaller groups can leave the game feeling very short and if you want to play with a group smaller than that, consider "One Night Ultimate Werewolf". If you are looking for a fantastic, unique party game, this is it! Essentially, it is Mafia if you've played that. The difference here is that it has 40+ unique roles that add a ton of replay value. We played this for 5 hours straight with my family, staying up until after 2:00 AM. This is a must have for party gamers.

I bought this game for a game night that I was hosting and it turned out to be interesting and totally fun. We were a group of 17-18 friends and this game can accommodate even more people. Everyone of us enjoyed it. The good thing about this game is that you can choose as many cards as you want and also the types you want to include. However, this game consists of 75 cards which makes it very complicated. Also, the rule book is not well written. So check some youtube videos and refer the rulebook of the simple edition of one night werewolf if you are having trouble to understand how it is played.

The game is absolutely amazing, only have had it for a few days now and I've already had so much fun playing it with friends. You can also use this version to play regular werewolf as well as One Night Ultimate Werewolf if you don't have a large friend group (They include 3 blank cards for custom rules in the box). There are various cards that you can include and exclude to adjust the difficulty of the match. No game is ever like the last because of all the combinations of players and cards you have the option to create. One thing to note is that the game often DOES NOT come with the WOLFPACK EXPANSION. Instead, it comes with the newer expansion, HUNTING PARTY. The hunting party adds so much dimension to the game that it isn't a problem, definitely would recommend for others to get a copy of this exciting party game.

Ultimate Werewolf is a great game to play especially if you have lots of friends who like to get together to play games often. It's great game to play with large groups or you can play a quick game with 6 or 7 people. The moderators ability to improve is extremely important in this game. The moderator can add a lot of spice to the way the game is played and needs to be good at making up stories. Likewise the players need to be friendly, talkative, and have the ability to think on their feet. This game is all about secrets, lying, and bluffing. Everyone keeps the identity on their card a secret and at the same time must make up a job for themselves in the imaginary village they live in in this game. Each day the villagers must vote to eliminate someone they think is a werewolf and each night the werewolfs (who know who each other are) must choose a villager to be their victim. With over 70 cards, most of which have special abilities, it's easy to make each game a little more unique or challenging than the last. I highly recommend this game for people who enjoy using their imaginations and who enjoy a good story. This is a great game to play for actors, theatre groups, improve teams, and anyone who has a group too large to play a traditional board game.

Group sizes have varied from 8-25 and this game has been great. We've played both editions with slightly different rules. I've played at least 75 hours of this game at my dorm over the last 3 years. Group sizes have varied from 8-25 and this game has been great. We've played both editions with slightly different rules, and though the new edition can move a bit more slowly, the edition of all the new character types is great. Great game with lasting replay value. Would strongly recommend. Also, the rulebook is so much more helpful. It comes in the box, and gives paragraphs to each card to help clear up any questions since the one liners on the cards are nice, but can't capture all the elements of some cards. You can burn out on it if you play it a ton like we were when we first got the previous version years ago, and people get really good at the game so you have to have a moderator with some creativity to bend rules as necessary. The expansions are a great way to try and keep the game fresh with some really unique cards, but they are a bit pricey for what you get in my honest opinion. Overall, I'd give this game 4/5 stars. Eh, 5/5. Can't really think of anything bad besides the cards wear out kinda fast and they're like a dollar each to replace.

As I say in the title

Este es un juego de mesa del tipo Party Game en el que hay 2 bandos: uno de aldeanos y otro de hombres lobo. El objetivo de los aldeanos es en el día tratar de descubrir quienes son los hombres lobo para ir eliminándolos, mientras que los hombres lobo en la noche van eliminando a la población de aldeanos noche por noche. Esta versión del juego es de las más grandes que hay, puesto que agrega múltiples personajes con diferentes habilidades que se pueden ir incluyendo en futuras partidas para darle mucha más variedad al juego. Las cartas me parece son de buena calidad y el instructivo está bien explicado e incluye varias cosas. Lo que me gusta de este juego es que prácticamente no hay límite de jugadores puesto que pueden jugar hasta 75 personas a la vez, aunque yo creo a lo mucho llegaría a jugar con hasta 20 personas pero tener tantos personajes hace posible crear muchas partidas diferentes. Lo que nunca me ha gustado mucho de este juego es que es de eliminación, por lo que los primeros en salir del juego no tienen nada más que hacer más que quedarse en silencio viendo cómo se desenvuelve el juego. Hay otros juegos de deducción como The Resistance y Coup, pero yo buscaba una opción que pudiera permitir jugar con 20 personas. Como la caja lo indica el juego es para personas de 13 años o más, puesto que puede ser un poco difícil (más no imposible) que un niño se pueda meter de lleno en el papel de hombre lobo y tratar de engañar con éxito a los demás jugadores. Este juego lo recomiendo para gente que tiene un grupo más o menos grande de juego (Unas 10 personas o más) desde adolescentes hasta adultos de cualquier edad, que guste de los juegos sociales y que busque mucha rejugabilidad. Este juego es bueno para jugar con los amigos y familia, o incluso para convivir con gente que uno apenas va conociendo.

I think the cards been in the warehouse awhile so the ink of the cards are wearing off

There are so many versions to this game. Instead of werewolves, I was always playing Mafia, but this is definitely the best version. It also has an expansion pack which adds a little twist to it. Many hours of fun with many people!

Cool game but it so hard to learn the rules
