Call of Cthulho Board Game specially designed by Origins-Award winning Mythos author CJ Henderson. Carcassonne Play & Learn By Rym DeCoster. In this fairly light tile-laying offering, players pull a tile from the pool and place it against one of the previously played tiles. If you start a new object (city, road, farm, or monastery), you can place one of your control markers on the tile to denote your control. Markers (called Followers by the publisher and called Meeples by us) cannot directly compete when placed, so to achieve some gains, you must place your marker and use later tiles to connect up to it. As subsequent tiles are arrayed on the board, objects get bigger or even merge. When roads or cities are completed, or a monastery is surrounded, the control marker is returned to you and you score the points. However, farmers are not returned and will score points at the game end (there are several rules variations for the farmer scoring). Therefore, it's possible to have all of your control markers locked on the board on incomplete objects, and not be able to convert them into farmers later in the game. You must balance the need to score points during the game with the need to score farmer points at game end. The goal is to have the most points at the end, which can be tricky to control considering your choice for each turn isn't the tile itself, but rather the placement of the tile that you drew. Think of a more strategic version of Metro's tile placement, with some of the scoring methods from El Caballero or even the Very Clever Pipe Game. Chang Cheng By Mark Casiglio. More than 2500 years ago, the emperor of the Qin dynasty decided to protect his prolific provinces of northern China from the frequent barbaric invasions, building and joining several fortified fortresses. So he nominate his most faithful imperial officers to oversee the construction, promising riches and honours to the first who would have completed what now represents one of the most remarkable works produced by men: Chang Cheng™, the Great Chinese Wall. Dress the clothes of one of the 4 officers of the emperor and try to increase your reputation to his eyes. Build parts of the Great Wall trying to defend the Chinese provinces and competing with the other players to gain the reputation that comes from protecting the most important ones. But beware of the threat of the Mongols that hangs near the border. Build with cleverness, because every part of the wall that you build has also to be defended and you have to consider the Mongol threat that burden on each of them. More are the provinces that you protect, more is the reputation that you gain but also the threat of having losses when the Mongols attack. All players have the same opportunities and the final victory depends exclusively on you. Changeling The Lost LARP By The Camarilla. Characters will be provided, Changeling is a Storytelling (or roleplaying) game. In it, a group of players cooperates to tell a story. Each player takes on the role of a single changeling, except for the Storyteller. This player essentially takes on every other role, describing the world to the other players, acting out the parts of other characters and determining what challenges the players’ characters face. Chateau Roquefort By Mark Casiglio. Each player controls colored mice and tries to collect pieces of cheese in Castle Appenzell. On their turn, players spend action points to put new mice into play, reveal corridors in the castle, or move their mice; then they push a tile, which changes the maze and can possibly move mice around. If two mice reach a place with the same kind of cheese, the player obtains a piece of this cheese. The first player with 4 different pieces of cheese wins the game. Cranium By Eric Hohlfeld. Cranium bills itself as the "whole-brain" game. It's a party game that borrows from a host of other popular party games of recent times.

Heroes who survived the Tomb of the Lich Lord have been called back, along with daring new allies, to destroy the Lich Lord forever.

Fearsome Floors By Mark Casiglio. Fearsome Floors / Finstere Flure (or 'Sinister Corridors') is a game from Friedemann Friese: The storyline is a terrible attempt to continue the FFF-saga with the players trying to escape from Fürst Fieso. But never mind the story, what we have is a wonderful race game in which the players must move through a dungeon as fast as possible - or at least within 14 turns - before it crumbles over their heads. This could be done in 7 turns if everything was peaceful and quiet, but unfortunately the dungeon is also the home of a very hungry monster! Players must maneuver their disks through the dungeon trying to manipulate the movement of a monster who is always after fresh prey. Players can try to lead the monster to opponents' pieces, but may find themselves eaten instead! Pieces might slide along blood slicks or be crushed between a boulder and a wall. You can even try to get the monster to teleport to another part of the board, where it will fall upon its next victim!

A distraught father reaches out to a friend of the family to locate his missing daughter and her governess. Glory to Rome By Constantine Zavras. Glory to Rome is a serious card game in the manner of San Juan, but with more complexity and deeper strategy. It's from newcomer Cambridge Games Factory, and though it's got a few sharp corners as do many indie designs, it's well worth playing. I encourage most Eurogamers to take a look at this release, as I think many will be pleasantly surprised. In 64 A.D., a great fire originating from the slums of Rome quickly spreads to destroy much of the city, including the imperial palace. Upon hearing news of the fire, Emperor Nero Caesar races back to Rome from his private estate in Antium and sets up shelters for the displaced population. Reporting directly to Nero, you are responsible for rebuilding the structures lost in the fire and restoring glory to Rome. Players 2-5, Ages 12+ Grand Tribunal By TBD.

These powerful judges vote on the best, and invite the winner to join their ranks as a new archmage -- a true master of the art of magic! Grand Tribunal is a board game for three to five players, inspired by the Ars Magica roleplaying game. In Grand Tribunal, players use Vis tokens to activate cards representing magic item types, spell categories, and resources, which they then assemble into powerful magic items. Each round, players place their votes for the item types and spell categories they're most likely to be able to play. Three times during the game -- at the periodic Tribunals -- players are presented with 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place awards for creating magic items with item types and spell categories that match those with the most votes. The player at the end of the game with the most points based on those awards wins! The Heist (D&D) By Mike Kuszner.

You have been given a map to the gate, a magical locator amulet, and pleas from the clerics to hurry.

This adventure will be played with mostly D20 Modern rules, with a few other surprises and random silliness. No experience necessary. Characters will be provided. 4 to 8 players. Kalamar - The Color of Truth (Living Kingdoms of Kalamar - d20 System) Key Harvest By TBD. The object of the game is to score the most points. Players score points by placing tiles on their own country board. One point is scored for each field tile in the player's largest group of connected field tiles and two points for each tile in their second largest connected group. Points are also scored for the worker tiles a player places on their country board. The number of points scored for each worker is equal to the number on the worker tile. Worker tiles do not count as connecting tiles when calculating the largest group of tiles. When played, a worker enables a player to take a special action. Each player has their own team of six workers, known as farmhands. There are also six townsfolk who can be acquired by any player. There are usually six field tiles available at any time from the registry. On their turn a player may bid for up to two tiles using crop counters. The field tile being bid for and the bid in crop counters are placed in the player's store. On their turn the other players may match the store owner's bid in both the number and type of crop counters. If they choose to do so, then they place the field tile on their country board and pay the crop counters to the store owner. If no other player has matched the store owner's bid, then on their next turn the store owner may place the field tile(s) from their store onto their country board and pay their bid in crop counters to the general stock. When deciding how much to bid for a field tile, players will need to consider how important the field tile is to them and whether other players are likely to bid for the tile. It is usually beneficial for a player to place field tiles into their store as that player will either obtain the field tile or receive additional crop counters. When played, a worker tile must be adjacent to at least the number of field tiles as the number on the worker tile. A worker tile cannot be adjacent to another worker tile. If a player obtains a field tile for a space where they have already placed a worker tile, they must remove the worker tile. However, if the worker tile can be replaced immediately (next to the required number of field tiles), then the player can benefit from the worker's ability again. Getting these extra benefits is one of the keys to doing well in the game. Players have two actions per turn. There are four possible actions. Each action can only be performed once per turn. As described above, the actions include placing field tiles from the stores onto their country board - action (c), placing field tiles from the registry into their store - action (d) and placing a worker tile onto their country board - action (b). Action (c) cannot be performed after action (d). A player may also harvest crops by turning over some unharvested field tiles on their country board - action (a). Field tiles taken from the registry are replaced immediately with field tiles from the bag. The bag also contains a number of event tiles. The event tiles when drawn affect all of the players, not just the player who drew the event tile. When the tenth event tile is drawn the game ends after two further rounds have been played. One point is also awarded to the players who have the most of each of the types of crop counters at the end of the game. No points are awarded for ties. Points are tallied using the scoring track on the town board. The player with the most points is the winner. LA-SP5-01 "The Darkest Depths" (Living Arcanis - d20 System) By by Chris Sanders.

Now one man seeks to remove this illusion of integration, if the Seremasi will allow it. This is a roleplaying-intensive scenario.

This event has been done in the spirit as well as in the imagination of the master himself, as a tribute to his recent passing. Players are informed that there will be traps and pitfalls, monsters and demons, villains and the oh so perchance passing demigod, and let us not least forget, a few heroes to take up the rest of the ends and twist them into the fable only someone like Gary could of done. Rules Lawyers beware, you all will be treated with “extreme prejudice”. For the curious, I leave this quote as a base description, “we’re definitely not in Kansas anymore”. AD&D 1st Edition letterHead By TBD. A unscramble the letters game, letterHEAD includes over 300 cards with mixed-up letters on the backs of each.

James Bond/Spy game with a great twist. Novice players welcome. Oregon By TBD. Oregon is a family/strategy game with a colonization-theme and a card-driven placement mechanism. The aim of the game is to position farmers and point-giving buildings in the best possible locations on the board. Pandemic By Mark Casiglio. Pandemic is a cooperative game. Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out. Players must work together, playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5. But the diseases are breaking out fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while developing cures. If disease spreads uncontrolled, the players all lose. If they find the cures, they win. The board shows earth with some big population centres. On each turn a player can use four actions to travel, cure, discover and build. Cards are used for this but the deck also contains Epidemics... A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose. Pandemic is a game for 2-4 players, as listed on the box and Z-Man's website. The game is capable of being played solo or with five players, but these rules are not addressed in the rulebook, and so would require house rules to play. Pempvs By TBD. A civilization building game has been created that clocks in under two hours. Tempus plays on a modular board with an array of landscapes on each land tile to ensure a different game every session. Each turn pushes player's technological advancements forward, starting from fire and ending in the modern age. Players are constantly faced with tough choices to vie for technological superiority or better positioning on the game board. This game features a rubber-banding mechanic in technological upgrading; where players catch up to the leader's advances at the end of every turn, and shoot forward to take advantage of any new technologies that are discovered. This keeps players constantly in check, while rewarding planning for the next turn by giving an edge-up. Tempus showcases a simple diceless battle mechanic featuring a subtle fog of war with Idea cards. Each card is dual purpose. Using a card for war, means giving up extra abilities that the Idea cards can grant. Or you might just want to hold on to them to advance in technology. Pieces of Eight – The Cursed Blade By TBD. Adventure and glory await you in Pieces of Eight, the rousing combat game of rival buccaneer ships on the high seas.

Recess By TBD. Recess! A board game of pain and loss in a rough parochial school ... Growing up is never easy ... especially in a rough parochial school where scores are settled on the playground. Between bullies stealing your lunch money, fights breaking out left and right, and schoolmates tattling to the ever-present nuns, a kid just can't catch a break ... or a kiss, as the case may be. Because you're a lover as well as a fighter, and all you really want is to steal a kiss from your sweetheart across the blacktop before the school bell rings and recess is over. The fact that you've bet the last of your lunch money on being the first do it makes it all the more risky. Of course, might makes right here on the playground. If you can't win your money back from the other kids, you can always beat it out of them. Recess is a strategy board game for three to five players. Players each start with two boy figures and two girl figures on opposite sides of the grid-marked modular board, which is dotted with playground-themed obstacles. Children move like a rook in chess, while nuns move like a queen. A child that lands on a space occupied by another child starts a fight and takes a coin from him. Other children can break up a fight by landing on that same space, or tattle by landing on a nun's space. If a nun moves onto the fight space, the attacker is sent back to the entrance for detention. Finishing thirty of the minute-long turns marks the end of the game, or it ends immediately when one player's boy and girl figures meet on the same space while out of sight of the nuns. The resulting kiss earns two coins from each player, but to win you still have to end up with the most coins. Ribhus C201E - Challenge of the Wizards IV: The Stone Puzzle (Heroes of Ribhus - d20 System) By Rodger Bergeron Jr. Once again the Ribhian Council of Wizards is holding their annual challenge.

There you must assist a member of the Imperial Families. (Low-Rank) Samurai By Mark Casiglio. Part of the Knizia tile-laying trilogy, this game is ostensibly set in medieval Japan. Players use hexagonal tiles to surround cities, which have one to three different figures: rice paddies, buddhas, or high hats. The tiles represent influence on particular facets of the cities, and the highest influence on a figure when the city is surrounded takes that figure. The object of the game is to have more of any one else in one category, and then have the most remaining figures. San Juan By TBD. A card game based on Puerto Rico. The pack of 110 cards consists of production buildings (indigo, sugar, tobacco, coffee, and silver) and "violet" buildings that grant special powers or extra victory points. Cards from the hand can be either built or used as money to build something else. Cards from the deck are used to represent goods produced by the production buildings, in which case they are left face-down. A seven-card hand limit is enforced once per round. In each round or governorship, each player in turn selects from one of the available roles, triggering an event that usually affects all players, such as producing goods or building. The person who picks the role gets a privilege, such as producing more goods or building more cheaply. Though similar in concept to Puerto Rico, the game has many different mechanics. In particular, there are no colonists and no shipping of goods; goods production and trading are normally limited to one card per phase; and trades cannot be blocked. Victory points are gained exclusively by building, and the game ends as soon as one player has put up 12 buildings. Seismic By TBD. "The industrious yet short-sighted Seismic Asphalt & Paving Company -- located in the sleepy town of San Andreas, California -- has put you in charge of one of its many road crews. Your job is to build a network of roadways around San Andreas proper. But San Andreas is rather prone to earthquakes, which have a tendency to destroy the beautiful stretches of pavement you've been laying. After all the asphalt is put down, which road crew will end up connecting the most highway in between quakes?" In Seismic, players place hexagonal highway tiles to build long, complete sections of highways, scoring points for each tile as well as bonus points for the ending "intersection" tiles in their routes. Scores aren't tallied until the end of the game, because at any time, earthquakes can occur, destroying tiles along the most-built direction leading out from the central "San Andreas" tile. Players constantly need to be claiming as many long roadways as possible while ensuring that their highways aren't the ones that are going to be destroyed if and when an earthquake occurs. Sneeze By Constantine Zavras. Your friend swats at her pet cat, saying "Shoo!" The house cat jumps off the old table, sending dust clouds everywhere. As the cat leaps into your lap, your nose starts to itch! Your friend laughs at you mischievously. The object of Sneeze is to match Sneeze cards to your opponents’ allergies and make them sneeze. If you sneeze too much, you’re out! Players each start with one Sneeze card as an Allergy. On your turn you place a sneeze card into either the upwind pool (which will make people sneeze immediately) or the downwind pool (which is safe until the wind changes). If all of your allergy cards are matched by cards in the upwind pool then you sneeze, that pool clears, you draw another allergy card and both you and the player who made you sneeze draw an 'And Now' (event) card. These can be played on your turn instead of flipping an allergy card to effect the course of the game (e.g. you hold your breath to avoid sneezing, or play a 'mean trick' to double the effect of one of the cards than an opponent is allergic to). When a player with four allergies sneezes they are out--at that point the game switches to 'sudden death' with any player who sneezes being eliminated. This is clearly a kids game, but with a few twists of strategy to keep everybody interested, especially around management of 'And Now' cards, and preparing for the switch into the sudden death end game. Spammers By TBD. Each player is competing to pull off the most lucrative scams. You do this by spamming mailing lists. The more closely related the mailing list is to the type of scam you're trying to pull, the easier it is to score. Scams come in 4 types - sex, internet, money and free stuff. The text and art flavour are quite wonderful. Of course the sex scams appeal the most - highlights were the Virtual Jellorama, Walter's Wankery and Disgusting Dog Tricks. If you're geeky, some of the internet scams are witty. All the standard 'make money doing nothing' and free stuff scams are there as well. You play scam cards in front of you (up to 5) and then play mailout cards (spams) trying to lure people in. There are a number of mailing lists of various sizes in the middle for anyone to mail to, plus each player has some private mailing lists that only they can spam. The action is to play a 'mail' card, nominating both a scam and the list that you're mailing the scam offer to. If you roll a d6 less <= the size of the list, you succeed, and that scam scores a point. If you roll way under (4 or more), your scam scores 2 points. Some lists specialise in one of the 4 scam types ... if your scam and the list matches, you get a modifier of +2 making it easier to score, plus the mailout cards have modifiers between 0 and +5. Simple so far, but everytime a mailing list gets spammed, it decreases in size by 1 (1 million thematically which equals 1 on the die) - these are subcribers getting disgruntled by the amount of spam they're receiving who leave the list. The winner is the first person to get 20 points across all their scams, or who gets a single scam of 12 points BUT it's only checked at the start of your next turn. A turn consists of 3 actions surrounding 2 decks - list cards and action cards. An action is pick up a card, play a card or merge 2 lists (making one bigger list you can then mail to). The action cards consist of scams, mailouts or hardware cards. Hardware cards are played in front of you and allow you to break the game rules in a prescribed way (eg can mail other's private lists). Mailout cards also list special effects which vary from mundane to wildly powerful but generally allow you to hose other players. When you play one, you say whether you're mailing or playing the special effect. To the game play itself. You try to get a mailout going every turn (you're only allowed one) and pick a scam / list combination that gives you the best chance of scoring 2 points rather than 1 point. If you only get 1 point, you may well be falling off the pace. You're generally picking up at least one card each turn, and this can be a slow process as any special action needs to be read and understood to work out whether you want to use the card as a mailout or for the special effect. So it's not the fastest game in the world. These hosage cards also make it a big hit the leader game. If you're going to make a dash for the lead have plenty of protection cards because you have to maintain your winning score for a full round before you win - everyone gets a shot at you.

Take over enemy turf as you play the role of an Italian Mafioso, Japanese Yakuza, a street hoodlum, or the most crokked of all: a capital hill politician. Syndicate is a structured live action role playing game which runs during and overlaps the entire convention, you do not need to devote an actual slot to play! For a preview of the rules, visit http://syndicate.lordnull.com Thurn and Taxis By TBD. In Thurn & Taxis, players build post office routes across Bavaria and the regions around, collecting bonus points in various ways. The board shows a map of all the towns, with roads leading from each one to some its neighbors. There are various colored regions around the board, most with one or two towns, and a large region with all the Bavarian towns in the center. On your turn, you draw a card showing a particular town into your hand and play a card from your hand in front of you, building up your postal route. When it is at least three towns long, you can cash the route in, placing post houses on the towns. When you place a card, your route must follow the geography on the board. So if you find you can't extend the route legally, it's scrapped and you must start a fresh route! Often, you will have a card in hand to keep your route going, but when you start your turn by drawing a card, you might realize then this is your last chance to push the route, and it's time to cash in. The trick is, when you cash the route in, you can either place one house in each different region on the route, OR place houses in all the towns of one region in the route. So on one route, you might switch from one region to another, so you can place a lot of houses in different places, or you might build a route which concentrates on one region especially, getting houses into just that region. There are lots of stacked bonus tiles across the board, with the victory points decreasing as each stack is diminished. You can collect bonus tiles for getting houses in all the towns of a region (or paired regions), bonuses for building routes 5, 6 or 7 houses long, a bonus for having a house in every region (a change from the original rules which didn't require Bavaria) and one bonus point for ending the game. In addition, as you complete routes, you take a card showing how your postal company is growing, starting at a three route up to a seven route. The latest gives you more victory points at the game end, but you have to grow your company steadily. Finally, you have some help from the postal staff, who give you only one extra action a turn: flush the six face up cards, pick up an extra card at the start of your turn place two cards onto your route, gain two places when taking a company card (so a four route can let you take the 5 or 6 route company card for example). But you only get one action, so if you drew two cards this turn, you don't get to place two as well. And when you cash in your route, you must discard your hand down to three cards. The game ends when one player places their last post house, or takes a 7 company card (everyone gets to finish the round). Total up all your bonuses, most points win. Many people liken Thurn & Taxis to Ticket To Ride, and there are clear similarities. But Thurn & Taxis has little player interaction, except when you might see that I need a card and you take it before me, or flush the face up cards. Other than that, there is no blocking routes on the board. The board is open to every one, and you can usually tell when the game will end. It's more a question of nerve and timing. Do you have enough time to build a longer route? Will the right cards come up to push your route longer? Or do you build lots of small routes and snatch the bonuses quickly? There are choices in Thurn & Taxis, but the game mostly turns on your own decisions and some luck in the cards. From the publisher "A real challenge for strategists: build a new postal stagecoach operation. But what does the best connection look like? Do you plan a short but difficult route, play it safe instead? With the right strategy, this game lets players build routes and stagecoaches, found offices in cities and expand into new countries. All the while making good use of public departments and having a lucky hand when planning new routes. Thurn und Taxis: The mail's here!" Tigrig and Euphrates By TBD. Ranked as Reiner Knizia's best game, thusfar this is the highlight of his prolific career. The game is set in the ancient fertile crescent with players building civilizations through tile placement. Players are given four different leaders: farming, trading, religion, and government. The leaders are used to collect victory points in these same categories. However, your score at the end of the game is the number of points in your weakest category, which encourages players not to get overly specialized. Conflict arises when civilizations connect on the board, i.e., external conflicts, with only one leader of each type surviving such a conflict. Leaders can also be replaced within a civilization through internal conflicts. To Hell and Back with only 5 laps to go ….. By James Doyle. This is the Car Wars event you’ve all dreamed of.

From the publisher: "Since time immemorial, the Kindred - vampires - have stalked unseen by the mortal masses upon whom they prey. Their world is ruled by the Prince, the most powerful and influential of the city's Kindred. The Prince's word is inviolate and his actions unquestionable. However, the Prince is dead and his legacy is but ashes. The mantle of leadership must fall upon another Kindred resident of the city � one of the Primogen, the ruling council that normally supports and advises the Prince in his decisions and judgments. The competition will be fierce, and only the most cunning and resourceful Kindred will prevail. Deals will be struck, alliances will be forged, and agreements will be broken. Do you have what it takes to become the new Prince of the City? The aim of the game is simple: Score more Prestige than any other player so that you may be declared the new Prince. You gain Prestige by controlling areas of the board that are defined as realms of mortal Influence. Each category is further divided into zones, and some zones are more prestigious than others. Gain even more Prestige by resolving Events that affect the Kindred world, or by implementing various Strategies that give you a unique edge over your opponents. Most troublesome, Prestige can be lost as well as gained - if you are outmaneuvered, you may find yourself becoming Notorious. In the process of building your Prestige, you may acquire Resources or directly Challenge your opponents to hinder them or send them to torpor. You must also keep track of your Blood, which is used up as game turns go by and which you spend to activate Discipline powers. Influence, Resources, Strategy and Blood are the currencies of Kindred unlife, and thus they are all bargaining chips for you to use on the way to ultimate victory. Prince of the City is designed for three to five players, each of whom represents a different clan from Vampire: The Requiem. Of moderate complexity, the game calls for strategy, tactics, diplomacy and guile to succeed. A number of optional and advanced rules provide even more strategy and replay value for more experienced players. Created in the model of the finest European boardgames, the Prince of the City box contains everything you need to play the game, including a full-color board of artwork depicting the city, a rulebook describing how to play, three decks of playing cards (Events, Resources and Strategy), several 10-sided dice, and a number of miniatures, counters and tokens." Vampire the Requiem LARP By The Camarilla. Characters will be provided. Vampire: The Requiem is a Storytelling (or roleplaying) game. In it, a group of players cooperates to tell a story. Each player takes on the role of a single Kindred, except for the Storyteller. This player essentially takes on every other role, describing the world to the other players, acting out the parts of other characters and determining what challenges the players’ characters face. Vinci By TBD. Along the lines of History of the World by Avalon Hill, players cycle through a series of European civilizations as they attempt to score the most points using the civilization's special powers. The game is set in Europe and each player is provided with a pool of wooden tokens to represent their civilizations. Each player selects a combination of civilization tiles, which give his civilization special abilities or characteristics. Players expand their empire through territorial expansion, often at the expense of other players. The key to the game lies in choosing when to decline your currently played-out civ to get a new one which will keep generating points. Play continues with the cycling of civilizations until a certain score is reached whereupon final rounds are played and a victor is determined. A winner of the 1999 Concours International de Créateurs de Jeux de Société. The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow By Spot Weld. Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role - Werewolf, Villager, or special character such as The Captain, The Hunter, the Witch, the Little Girl, The Seer and so on... There is also a Moderator player who controls the flow of the game. The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. During the day, the Villager who was killed is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers (normal and special villagers alike) then vote on the player they suspect is a Werewolf helped (or hindered) by the clues the special characters add to the general deliberation. That player reveals his/her role and is out of the game. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment to play, and can accommodate almost any large group of players.
