Werewolves of Millers Hollow

"Werewolves of Millers Hollow" is a great game for groups of around 10 to 20 people. They represent the citizen of a small village. Among them, a group of several Werewolves hide. In the two alternating phases of "night" and "day", different actions happen: in the night, the Werewolves kill one of the citizen (of course, the citizen don't learn to know WHO is a werewolf), while during the day, the village as a whole can bring one of its citizen to justice (a werewolf, hopefully).

Several special characters exist, like a witch (that can heal and kill once per game), a seer (that can discover the identitiy of one other player per round), a healer, etc. Once discussions start, the game usually develops its own momentum. Be prepared for alliances, intrigues, paranoia and verbal disputes among the participants.

The game can be played from age 10 or so onwards, when you can trust the participants to play by the rules. While the game is commercial (you can buy official game cards), it can be played with any other cards as well.
