You know how awesome it'd be if just out of nowhere on one of his board game reviews, his dairy card game was featured.

I once stayed up all night and played over 40 rounds of this game with my friends. The more rounds you have the deeper the mind games get, add in some lack of sleep and some crazy logic and ideas come out. It's so much fun 10/10 game.

I believe if a werewolf is alone they are allowed look at one role in the middle.

“ROBBER, wake up. Exchange your card with another player’s card, and then view your new card.”

Not to mention the announcer in the app has his own quirky cadences when it comes to some of the things he says.
The way he reads "Diseeeeased" never fails to make me chuckle for some reason.

Me and my buds occasionally play this, its super fun and has other expansions. Great review!

i was at a convention and one of the panels was a Deathnote version of this game, it was completely homemade with cards and everything and he was able to mimmicks Ryuks (sorry if i spelled the name wrong) voice to be the announcer, and it was extremely fun with how he incorporated the characters to work with this games premise

EVERYONE, CLOSE YOUR EYES!
*Que way to epic music on the app*

I play this with a huge group whenever we go camping. It's so much fun!!

We actually played this in class when we were bored and I can tell you, it was more than 13 players and it was fun!! We didn't have a board, just some scraps of paper with our roles written on it and we also create different characters such as the doctor, the witch/wizard, the peeping tom, and much more!!

Of course, it's more fun when you're the narrator coz you can see exactly what was happening during the night and it's hard to supress a laugh when players are defending or bluffing during the daytime, mainly because you know what's going on.

Want some next level bluffs to melt minds in this game? I got a story.


I was playing once with a group, and we had the Daybreak expansion. We had the sentinel in, and he goes before the Werewolves and puts his token to prevent the cards from being moved. I was a werewolf and when I woke up, the other werewolf had a sentinel token on their card. This is bad because the first question always asked at this point is, "what were you?" and refusal to answer gets a target painted on you within seconds. I decided to cause a massive amount of chaos knowing full well I could bail later if someone took my card and rat out the other werewolf. I woke up and immediately kicked back and said, "I'm a werewolf and I will not be voted out." My brazen attitude confused people and everyone panicked and tried to figure out if I was secretly the tanner. They only asked once if the sentinel guarded person was the werewolf, and when they did, they just kept silent as to confuse them more. They voted for someone else, I think it was the insomniac, and I survived as a werewolf and so did the blocked werewolf.


Tl;dr, weaponize the truth, it confuses people to the point of sanity break sometimes.

I played the multi-night version of this game once. In this version, the werewolf gets to kill villagers each night. I was the werewolf and let me tell you, I never Pokerfaced so hard in my life. The seer, my uncle, actually found me out, but was way too subtle about that fact. I was able to get the village to vote him out. In the end, I was in the last three. When the second to last villager went down, I got up, flipped my card and laughed the most evil laugh I could muster.
I definitely prefer the long version. The build up and the payoff is satisfying.

Been playing this game for years with my family and friends, its defintely our favorite!
We also made the house rule of making noise during the night period. You can also turn up the music in the app.
Great review and explainantion, but I think its a game you have to play or watch played to really understand.

[damorez]

This game made my friends fight each other. Great Game 11/10

[BrotherMingGames]

I one night werewolf, such a fun game especially for introducing non-board gamers to the hobby.

[eggface]

I love playing this one with my friends. It always devolves into madness

[askmiller]

My favorite run of this game was where we had 2 werewolves, a doppleganger who copied a werewolf, and a minion (me). So the round basically went me just saying: hey guys, we have a 4-2 majority, let's all vote x person, who happened to be a hunter and we lost :p

I’ve been looking for this game for a while. I actually saw it being played in an anime called Tesagure Bukatsumono, I believe during Season 3.

It’s one of those anime that have sections where the va’s have to improvise their lines live, and it was an excellent and hilarious episode.

I’d highly recommend anyone check out that episode. It’s available on crunchyroll.

[Yoshifire]

I love how he's trying to review a party game all by himself lol

This game is fun for quick games, but I prefer regular Werewolf. Werewolf provided my all time favorite board game experience, a game of 27 people in a giant circle, with so many roles it was insane. Vampires, Wolf cubs, the Witch, the Wolf Seer, Cupid Lovers, etc.
