Werewolves - Experimental Roles and Mechanics #8
Advertisement
It's the elusive 5th Wednesday of the month and so we try out new and exciting roles and mechanics that we may add to our regular Werewolves setups. This is a different feel to our regular werewolves events but don't let that put you off! If anything these nights are good for new players as many of the mechanics are new to everyone! That said, these are not always entirely new and may be based off our online werewolves community so they're not completely untested, but they can be new to "real life".
Everyone is welcome - everything is explained and we have guides that everyone can refer to.
Ignore how many people it says are coming - we get 10-15 people regularly, they just don't respond on meetup!
In addition to our regular Monday games we're running a special night to play the social dedication game, Werewolves. Please note this will be DOWNSTAIRS in the back room to the right of the bar.
This game emerged in the 1980's and has taken on many forms and names since then - you might have heard it called mafia - and is the parent of many modern deception games (The Resistance/Avalon, Secret Hitler etc) and is the game the "one night" werewolves series is based upon.
Werewolves takes place in a village, ravaged by fearsome lycanthropic enemies. You are either on the side of the village or you are a werewolf - the wolves are trying to eat villagers and the village are tying to catch and eliminate the wolves. Each game is split into two phases - a day phase where everyone is pretending to be a normal member of the village and voting to try and exile the wolves - but then night comes. At night the wolves awken and secretly choose victims. All is not lost however as the village have some superhero "power roles" - people with special abilities they can use at night. Choosing people to protect or investigate to find more information. It's a race to find the wolves before they eat their way through the innocents!
Each game lasts around 20 minutes so there's plenty of opportunity to be different roles as many games will be played over the course of the evening. When you die you get to watch the game and see the lies and deception unfold!
This night is for everyone but is aimed to get new players introduced to the game because our friends over at Manchester Werewolf Society will soon be starting up their regular Wednesday night werewolves. So if you've never played before, this is a great opportunity to come along and try something new. If you're a seasoned veteran - come along as well!
Any questions feel free to ask :)
