Bought a copy of this game after playing with some friends over the weekend. Just to clarify, Amazon sent me the wrong version. I received the deluxe version with the HUNTING PARTY expansion instead of the WOLFPACK expansion. I'm actually happy about this because I consider the HUNTING PARTY expansion to be the better of the two.
The Breakdown:
- It says you can play with as few as 5 people, but you should probably have at LEAST 6 (one to be game master). The more the better though, and it's not always easy to get a group that large together.
- Sometimes the cards are vague and don't explain themselves well enough, so go over the rules for each card with everyone before starting any games.
- Beautiful artwork!
- Probably some of the most fun I've had playing games. We don't exactly play it PG, and alcohol only makes it more enjoyable.
- Clever game play, and there are FOUR expansions that add new dimension.
- I feel like deck protectors are a smart purchase to make with this depending on how rough your pals are with cardstock
The Bottom Line:
So. Much. Fun. All the lying and ridiculous accusations make for really animated and hilarious games. Switching out cards every round makes the game super dynamic and gives everyone a chance to play various roles in a very short period of time. Super easy to pick up, and it's so compact I'll gladly take it with me to every get-together and party.
From the manufacturer
The most engaging party game you'll ever play - for up to 75 players
In Ultimate Werewolf, you and any number of other players (as few as 7 and as many as 75) attempt to figure out who is a werewolf over the course of several game days and nights. Each day you'll choose a player (hopefully a werewolf) to eliminate.
Each night. ..the werewolves will eliminate a villager. Fortunately for you, some of the villagers have special powers, like the Seer, who learns the true identity of a player each night. The game continues until only villagers. ..or werewolves. ..remain.
Rich, Engaging Gameplay; you'll be talking about it over the next week
As a villager, seek the truth about your fellow players. As a werewolf, bluff your way to safety.
A timer app to keep the game moving
The Ultimate Werewolf timer app, available on iOS/Android/Kindle Fire, allows you, with the tap of a button, to move the game along quickly. You can customize every aspect of the timer, from timer lengths to the kinds of alerts that sound.
Meet the Good Guys

|---|---|---|
SeerThe Seer gets to view another player's card each night as she looks for werewolves. She's the village team's most valuable asset, so she has to be careful not to expose who she is before she has enough information. |
VillagerVillagers are trying to figure out who the werewolves are. Most werewolves will claim to be villagers, which makes convincing the rest of the players that you really are just a villager quite difficult. |
WitchThe Witch has the ability to save a player who was targeted by the werewolves for elimination at night, and she also has the ability to eliminate the player of her choice. However, she can only use those powers once per game. |
Meet the Bad Guys
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
WerewolfThe werewolves' goal is to eliminate all the players from the game, until there are only werewolves left. Each night, they secretly pick a player to eliminate. Each day, they try to act like they aren't werewolves. |
SorceressThe Sorceress isn't a werewolf, but she wants them to win. She has the ability to find the Seer, so each night she checks the identity of a different player. Once she finds the Seer, that will help the werewolves immensely. |
Wolf CubThe Wolf Cub is on the werewolf team. But the other werewolves are very protective of their cub. If the Wolf Cub is eliminated, the werewolves get to eliminate two players the following night. |

Ultimate Werewolf gets its claws and fangs in you
By Texas KnowHow on January 1, 2018
A fun game. Takes at least 5 players and can be played with up to 75 players. One player must be a moderator and the rest are either a seer, villagers or werewolves. This is only a party game when guest come over for our family of four. It can't be played as a family game because of the min amount of players needed (5 players). The only parts are cards and a note page to record your thoughs/ideas.By Texas KnowHow on January 1, 2018
