Product Description

Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role - Werewolf, Villager, or special character such as The Captain, The Hunter, the Witch, the Little Girl, The Seer and so on... There is also a Moderator player who controls the flow of the game. The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. During the day, the Villager who was killed is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers (normal and special villagers alike) then deliberate and vote on a player they suspect is a Werewolf, helped (or hindered) by the clues the special characters add to the general deliberation. The chosen player is "lynched", reveals his/her role and is out of the game. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment to play, and can accommodate almost any large group of players.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Party Game, October 16, 2005

For any gathering of 8-18 people, this game is a must have. A role-playing game, Werewolves is a game of deception and trust where everyone must decide who is lying and who's telling the truth. Everyone looks as thought they are townspeople but some people (through radomly passed out cards) are secretly werewolves that are trying to kill all the townspeople. Every nighttime the werewolves kill and every daytime the town must decide on someone to kill, hoping that person is a werewolf. With many different variations to the normal townsperson (hunter, fortune teller, cupido, little girl, witch, and theif) which all have unique special abilities, the game never gets old. For those of you who remember Mafia, this game is very similar but more well balanced and polished. I hope you have as much fun with it as I have!

Every year at Christmastime, my rather large family (my parents have 10 kids, plus all the grandchildren) get together at my parents' house to laugh and play board games, and maybe have a couple of cocktails. Our usual game of choice is Trivial Pursuit, as most of us fancy ourselves trivia savants. ;) This year, I thought I would change things up a bit, not that I don't enjoy a good game of Trivial Pursuit, but I just wanted to try something new and see how things went.

I brought Apples to Apples (which was also new to us and very well received), Clue (a classic favorite), and The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow. When I pulled out the small box and explained the premise of the game, basically a role-playing game, many a sigh and discouraging comment was thrown my way. I must say, I was also a bit hesitant to even bring the game out, having never played it myself and the term "role-playing" rousing comparisons to games like "Dungeons & Dragons" and "World of Warcraft"...not that those are BAD games, necessarily...but certainly not the type of game that would interest my siblings or my parents.

Finally, having heard enough, and after playing about 100 rounds of Apples to Apples, I pulled "Werewolves" out once more. Apparantly after a few drinks my family is a lot more open to try new things...they all said "Well, I guess we could try it and just see how it is. If we don't like it we can always quit." And with that, our Christmas quality family time changed forever... :D

To put it simply, my entire family LOVED this game! No one, perhaps, more than my own mother, age 62. The first round had us all laughing so hard we could barely breathe. And we all found out that my Mom is a bit of a thespian, sending us often into bouts of hysterical laughter throughout the night with her convincingly serious accusations and pleas for her life. We started with 9 players and ended with 12...and even incorporated my 11 year old nephew and my 12 year old son (who strangely seems to be a lycanthrope more often than not!), allowing them to stay up until the very end...it was Christmas vacation after all.

I can't say I have ever played a game where we could include the "tweens" and the grandparents in one hilarious grouping. I highly recommend this game to everyone. Guaranteed to be a night filled with theatrics and aching sides. If not, I'd say your group must have a collective stick up the you-know-what.

And if you think it was the booze doing all the entertaining, it may have helped, I'll admit, but the next morning my Mama was still raving about the game...so don't let the "role-playing" description turn you off, give it a chance and I almost GUARANTEE you will find it worth every penny! The only down side is that it is only fun if you have a large enough group, which we were fortunate to have...SUPER FUN!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for company game rooms, January 2, 2008

This review is from: Werewolves of Millers Hollow (Toy)

Where I work we try to de-stress by playing card & board games when we can. My boss bought Werewolves Of Millers Hollow and we tried it one day. It's now "THE" game to play before a holiday or long weekend. It's the type of game that causes my coworkers to stop dead in their tracks and say "Werewolves????... did someone say Werewolves???" and all pile into the conference room where we play and chow on pizza and Buffalo Wings.

We love this game! The best part is that it created an environment where my coworkers, that wouldn't normally associate with each other, laughed and had fun with each other. I highly recommend playing this at company parties! I like it so much, I'm going to get it for playing at home with my friends and family.
