A "deduction" board game where players take on roles in a village and try to figure out who (or whom) is a werewolf! No two games are alike!
Description:
In One Night Ultimate Werewolf, each player takes on the role of a Villager, a Werewolf, or a special character. It’s your job to figure out who the Werewolves are and to kill at least one of them in order to win...unless you’ve become a Werewolf yourself! No two games are exactly the same. We will likely play up to 3 games in the course of the hour. We will be using a mix of Second Life and Tabletop Simulator (the GM will use Tabletop Simulator to arrange the board, and Second Life to explain what happens during the "Night Phase"). This is a great quick game and new players and veterans alike and encouraged to attend.
