PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Die Werwölfe von Düsterwald

Charaktere

 

Each night werewolves enter the village and take an inmate, the village population must put up a fight. Aim of the game for each faction is to eliminate the other while hiding personal identities and affiliations. You are a villager or a werewolf and have special abilities connected to your character. The game master directs the game, with everybody sitting in a circle, eyes closed and head down. The game master calls characters; if called you may open your eyes and act according to the abilities of your character. It is especially important not to give away your character by noises during your own action. At the end of the round the victim of the werewolves is eliminated and all players discuss possible werewolf identities; werewolves can try to divert suspicion without giving themselves away.

In the "Characters" expansion the rumors and the howling in the woods begin again after a period of quiet, peace and regenerations. Characters from all over the land assemble to confront the pest; again each group wants to eliminate the other faction while disguising its own identity. New characters are The Pure Soul, Two Sisters, Three Brothers, Angel, The Stuttering Judge, The Knight of the Rusty Sword, Jester and Devoted Maid as defenders of the village, Fox and Bear Leader with supernatural abilities to sense werewolves and The Embittered Old Man, The Wild Child, Wolfhound, White Werewolf, Big Bad Wolf and the Primordial Wolf as foes of the villagers. The expansion lives up to its title, characters are complex and must be guided and played carefully, providing magnificent new elements for this game of discussion and deduction.
