The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow: The Village (2009)

About this game

Game description from the publisher: After the terrible tragedy of the so-called "New Moon", the village became a desert of ruins. Many years later, some brave outsiders rebuilt the village stone by stone, with the treasures amassed from their latest adventures. They then launched a clarion call to encourage all homeless adventurers to come live in this new ideal village. From all corners of the country, volunteers flocked to live in brand new houses, farms and shops. Some even camped on the village square, waiting for houses to become available. Thus, the school is once again filled with the laughter of children and the tavern is filled with playful echoes of conversations, punctuated by the clink of filled glasses. However, there remain claims that werewolves exist among the new community! Welcome to the Village! As in the original game of The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow, players assume characters in the charming village, with some players secretly being werewolves who tear apart one of the human citizens each night. However, in Village, players will also assume a trade/profession. Note that The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow: Village is both a standalone game and an expansion for the original game, although the card sizes in Village differ from those in the original game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 8 to 18.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
