About the game
The Game of Wolf is a trivia game in which players play wolves, ravenous for trivia. On your turn, you may pick pack members based on their knowledge of the subject or go Lone Wolf for a chance to double the points! The Pack or Lone Wolf that answers the most correct of the five questions wins the points for that round! Will you go it alone, Wolf? Or will you choose strength in numbers? —description from the publisher
