I've just announced a brand new edition of Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate Edition, professionally designed and printed, which will be released around Essen. As a result, Ultimate Werewolf: Whitebox Edition is no longer available.

Here's the official blurb:

Your quiet little 16th century village has suddenly become infested with some very unfriendly werewolves...can you and the other villagers find them before they devour everyone?

Ultimate Werewolf is the ultimate party game for anywhere from 5 to 68 players of all ages. Each player has an agenda: as a villager, hunt down the werewolves; as a werewolf, convince the other villagers that you're innocent, while secretly dining on those same villagers each night. Dozens of special roles are available to help both the villagers and the werewolves achieve their goals while thwarting their opponents.

Contents: More than 40 unique roles, 18 different scenarios to allow groups of all sizes and experience levels to quickly get up and running, a set of 80 fully illustrated cards, a moderator scorepad to keep track of games, and a comprehensive game guide with dozens of pages full of insights, tips and strategies. This set has everything you need for the best Ultimate Werewolf experience possible, whether you’re playing with a small circle of friends at home, a huge gathering of gamers in Ohio or as an engaging team building exercise at the office.

As an alternative, I made a pretty massive deck for Werewolf that you can download from the regular WW page.

The downloads are in the files page under Werewolves Megadeck, along with an excel page that describes the roles in detail, with other noteworthy things.

The Warp — 2007-11-21T17:57:05+00:00

The Little Girl role in "Werewolves" is slightly different. In it, a player adjacent to the Little Girl has to first be killed by the werewolves. This "activates" the Little Girl's ability. She can then peek the following night, but can't say anything the day after. So, the Little Girl needs certain conditions, and then some time has to pass before any info can be shared with the rest of the village. Little Girl can still vote the day after peeking (she just can't say "So and so is a Werewolf, I peeked"... at least until another day has passed). After that, the Little Girl can not peek again until another adjacent player has been eaten.

This is a role we'd only use in a pretty large group anyway, so it wouldn't be like a 9 player game, where it could easily get down to a couple players before the Little Girl could do anything.

It's not perfect, but I think this way works better.

A horrible role. We NEVER use the Little Girl.

Philip Thomas — 2007-06-05T15:38:28+00:00

If she is killed when caught peeking that implies to me she is killed in addition to the regular kill. So the werewolves could indicate two people if they have caught the little girl. If they haven't actually caught the little girl then only one of the two dies (selected by you, the moderator).

Unfortuantely this method is prone to abuse!

You don't.

The little girl is unbalanced one way or the other. A little girl can wipe out all the wolves by peeking once. It's very hard to catch the little girl peeking. If you make sure that the little girl has to peek in a blatant manner, she'll get found out all the time, and be worthless.

No matter what you do, chances are it'll be unsatisfactory. Don't play with that role, period.

The little girl is a broken role and really shouldn't be played with. However, if you are, then I would just make the wolves indicate that the little girl is the character that they would like to kill that night.

nmrosen — 2007-06-05T15:16:32+00:00

We tried playing werewolf using the little girl character who gets to peek when the werewolves are wakened. but is killed if caught peeking. We were unsure how to handle a situation if one of the werewolves spots the little girl actually peeking, how that should be communicated to the moderator, since the werewolves obviously can't speak or move around very much before they are uncovered? Also, assuming that there is a way for a werewolf to make an acusation against another player, how do you handle the situation where the player accused is not the little girl? Although perhaps it is a bit naive, I will assume that no on is cheating and the accuser in such a case, is merely wrong.

Thread: Down to the wire: Ultimate Werewolf for 11

toulouse — 2007-03-27T23:47:27+00:00

Last night we played a game of Ultimate Werewolf with 11 players, a good number, and used only two “vanilla” villagers. The cast included:

Sick Villager: Scott
Spellcaster: Bridget
Werewolf: Mike
Villager #1: Cheryl
Drunk/Werewolf: Clark
Occultist: Jeremy
Martyr: John
Villager #2: Monica
Rabble Rouser: Karen
Seer: Greg
Village Idiot: Chris

I was the moderator, and got things off to a fine start by having myself mauled and consumed the first night. Due to the advantage the Villagers had, I did not give the seer a night one view, so the first day everyone was on even footing (except Clark, the Drunk who didn’t know he was actually a werewolf…he wouldn’t sober up for another few days).

Day One
The mob mentality took hold immediately, with Chris the Village Idiot being nominated and lynched immediately (unfortunately the Village Idiot must always vote for everyone to die at lynch time, and the angry mob realized their mistake only as the vote came in with 7-4 in favor of lynching. The Village Idiot was dead.

Night fell, and the lone werewolf, Mike, chose Greg the Seer as his midnight snack. Greg has been the seer before, and a similar fate has befallen him. The Spellcaster chose Mike to be silenced for the next day (and the village cheered!). Jeremy the occultist brought Clark into the cult.

Day Two
With two villagers down, there were now seven villagers and two werewolves (or so the villagers thought…Clark had yet to Sober Up). Nominations and accusations few back and forth until finally Karen was strung up (whoops, another villager gone).

The Drunk (Clark) sobered up that night and discovered he was a werewolf. Mike was happy to have a partner in villager-dining, and they chose Monica the villager as their next victim. Bridget the Spellcaster meanwhile chose John to be silenced the next day (and again, the village cheered!). Jeremy added Bridget to the cult.

Day Three
The village had a lot of trouble making up their minds, when finally Jeremy was voted in favor of being lynched. John motioned like a crazy person and took Jeremy’s place as the good martyr. Jeremy survived, but yet another villager was down.

The two wolves wasted no time in eating Jeremy, but not before he added Scott to his list of cult followers. Bridget cast her spell of silence on Scott (he was quite popular that evening). But it was starting to look pretty grim for the villagers. There were only 3 villagers left…and two werewolves.

Day Four
I informed the village that this was a crucial lynch; making a mistake and lynching a villager meant that the village would be overrun by werewolves, and the villagers would lose. Scott nodded in agreement, being unable to talk. Nominations and discussions flew, until finally Scott pointed strongly at Clark, indicating a nomination. He was seconded, and at the vote, it was 3-2 in favor of death. The village had finally lynched themselves a werewolf.

Unfortunately, Mike the werewolf was not at all pleased with the lynch, and angrily ate Cheryl, who had been one of the primary accusers of Clark…and also mentioned that Mike was probably of the hairy faced, fanged-mouthed persuasion. Bridget gave Mike the silent treatment, and then the village awoke with 2 villagers and one werewolf.

Day Five
Scott immediately nominated Mike, and Mike motioned that Scott should be nominated. It was now up to Bridget to 2nd a nomination (or risk being nominated and seconded herself). After what seemed like seconds of deliberation, she seconded Mike, and the final vote was two for death, one (Mike, the silent werewolf) for life. Mike the werewolf was lynched, the village was saved (what little there was left of it), and Jeremy the occultist had also won, having converted the two remaining villagers to his cult before he died.

All in all a thrilling nail-biter of a game of Ultimate Werewolf, confirming that a game with few (only two) vanilla villagers can work just fine, and (almost) everyone had something interesting to do during the game.

Right now you can get UW with all 15 of the contest entry roles for $30; that's good until March 27th. After that point I'll definitely be looking into some sort of deal for all of the custom cards. I agree, that's crazy expensive.
