About the game
Wolfgang Otto Ludwig Friedrich, alias Wolf, is a mercenary with no loyalty, no scruples, and no mercy. Willing to work for either the Reich or the Union if the price is right, Wolf is a consummate professional and a valuable asset to either side. The Wolf single miniature pack comes with everything you need to include Wolf in your Tannhäuser game: one pre-painted Wolf figurine, character sheet, game tokens, and a rulebook including a special bonus scenario featuring Wolf. Wolf was originally a special promotional single miniature pack that was made available to all customers who preordered Tannhäuser either directly from Fantasy Flight's GenCon2007 booth or from the official FFG online store or participating brick-and-mortar retailers before August 25th, '07.

Questions and answers
Tannhäuser: Wolf supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tannhäuser: Wolf is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tannhäuser: Wolf for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Tannhäuser: Wolf has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Tannhäuser: Wolf belongs to these categories: Wargame, Horror, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers and Dice Rolling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Tannhäuser: Wolf are: William Grosselin and Didier Poli. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Tannhäuser: Wolf as an expansion for Tannhäuser. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Tannhäuser to use it. Check that your edition of Tannhäuser is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
