Una Notte da Lupi is a board game released in 2015 for 3–10 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Akihisa Okui and Domenico Di Giorgio and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Role Playing, and Team-Based Game.
From the Publisher: Una Notte da Lupi is a fast game full of tension. Each player gets a hidden role: Werewolf, Seer, a harmless Farmer or another of the odd villagers with special powers. Werewolves try to muddy the waters while villagers try to find out their identities. Who will win? Whatever is your role, be on the watch and don't trust to easily on what other players say! The following roles did not exist in One Night Werewolf, but do exist in both One Night Ultimate Werewolf as well as dV Gicochi’s Una Notte da Lupi. Troublemaker: This is almost exactly the same as in One Night Ultimate Werewolf (Una Notte da Lupi has the limitation that the switched characters are limited to the players to the left and right of the Troublemaker) Masons: This is exactly the same as the Masons One Night Ultimate Werewolf Miteane: This is exactly the same as the Minion in One Night Ultimate Werewolf Sorcerer’s Apprentice: This appears to be the same as the Alpha Wolf character from One Night Ultimate Werewolf Daybreak (the translation is not very good) Werewolf Penguin: This is exactly the same as the Tanner for One Night Ultimate Werewolf Mortovio: This appears to be the Hunter from One Night Ultimate Werewolf (again, there are a few issues with the translation) In addition, Una Notte da Lupi provides tokens that correspond to the roles used in the game, something that One Night Ultimate Werewolf has, and One Night Werewolf does not.
Una Notte da Lupi supports 3–10 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 Una Notte da Lupi is 10 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 Una Notte da Lupi for ages 8 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.
Una Notte da Lupi has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
