About the game
The unforgettable game that combines the classical game of Werewolf with hide-and-go-seek, Werewolf in the Dark! Who among the villagers is the Werewolf? During the daylight phase, vote to eliminate a player you suspect of killing others at night. During the night phase, everyone hides in pitch black darkness. Only the Werewolf can double tap you, eliminating you. Don't get too cozy in your hiding spot, as a Werewolf can win in a single night. Villages have many different monster types and "villager" roles with unique abilities. Eaten by a monster? Eliminated by vote? No worries. Everyone comes back as one of many different types of "ghosts" to enhance the game. The goal of the villages is to eliminate the Werewolf before he can eliminate the villagers. —description from the publisher
