Description

Recently, the village of Wakkerdam has been terrorized by Werewolves! Every night, some of the villagers transform into Werewolves for a mysterious reason (possibly the greenhouse effect) and commit gruesome murders. The villagers must unite to find out who among them are Werewolves before the village loses its last inhabitants...

Who doesn't know the popular role-playing game The Werewolves of Wakkerdam? In this game, it's all about cunning and deception: who are the Villagers in the village and who are secretly the dangerous Werewolves? A game master tries to create a tense atmosphere among the players, where the Werewolves try to devour Villagers every night, while the Villagers try to unmask (and thus eliminate) the Werewolves during the day.

This brand-new, revised base game contains 24 square character cards with which you can play an exciting game with 8-18 players. Step into the shoes of a Common Villager, Werewolf, Seer, Hunter, Witch, Thief, Cupid, Innocent Girl and play an exciting game! But beware of the Mayor, because they have an extra vote during the game. Which of these characters can survive the longest to win the game?

How does it work?

What kind of game is this?

The Werewolves of Wakkerdam is a game for large groups, from 8 to 18 players. Everyone is secretly assigned a role. Most players are villagers. A few players are werewolves.

The game is mainly about talking. You discuss, bluff, and try to guess who is lying. A game master tells the story and does not play. This makes it feel like a real night in a frightened village.

How do you play?

The game consists of nights and days. There are no turns like in a regular board game.

  • Night: everyone closes their eyes. The werewolves silently choose a victim.
  • Special roles: the game master wakes them up at night. The Seer may look at another player's card. The Witch has a potion to heal and one to kill.
  • Day: the game master announces who is dead. The whole village discusses it. The werewolves participate and try not to stand out.
  • Voting: the village chooses a suspect. That player is eliminated and reveals their role.

Example: at night the werewolves point to Lisa. In the morning the village hears that Lisa is dead. Everyone wonders who behaved strangely. Then the village votes.

The villagers win if all the werewolves are gone. The werewolves win if they take over the village.

Why is it fun?
  • It happens among the players You mainly play by talking, bluffing, and suspecting each other. Little is revealed, but a lot happens within the group.
  • Everyone has their own role The special roles give you something to do or hide. This keeps everyone on edge.
  • Great for large groups The game works with up to 18 players. This makes it suitable for a camp, a class, or a birthday party.
