Ultimate Werewolf Deluxe Edition
Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game of deduction for two teams: Villagers and Werewolves. The Villagers don't know who the Werewolves are, and the Werewolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate the Villagers one at a time. A Moderator (who isn't on a team) runs the game.
Included for a limited time: the Wolfpack expansion!
Ultimate Werewolf takes place over a series of game days and nights. Each day, the players discuss who among them is a Werewolf and vote out a player. Each night, the Werewolves choose a player to eliminate, while the Seer learns whether one player is a Werewolf or not. The game is over when either all the Villagers or all the Werewolves are eliminated.
Ultimate Werewolf: Deluxe Edition features all new artwork, a great new design, totally rewritten and more comprehensive rules, and an even better moderator scorepad. What's more, it supports more players than ever: 75 of your closest friends can converge on one or more villages using the components in this box.
NOTE: This version of the game was produced after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Backers received copies of updated editions of the Classic Movie Monsters, Night Terrors, and Urban Legends expansions as stretch goals, as well as 20 bonus cards, a deeper storage box, and access to different art packs by various artists.
This non-Kickstarter version is available separately commercially, as well as a non-Deluxe version. This is the 2014 version of the game. Prior versions were published as the Ultimate Edition (2008-2013) and the Whitebox Edition (2007-2008).

If you are a gamer who enjoys gaming with large groups, Ultimate Werewolf is the must get game. I’ve seen this game compared to Resistance and Mafia but while I find that the main game mechanic is very similar, what makes Ultimate Werewolf great is the thematic element of it.
During the night phase, the Wolf Team takes out a member of the human team without them know. And then during the day phase, the humans take a somebody whom they suspect is the wolf.
And then of course there are the other human characters who have special abilities. It pretty much plays out like a period small town horror film.
This game will get people discussing and talking a lot during the day phase. And I love the simplicity of it. All the different human roles might seem complicated but honestly, the person with the biggest responsibility is the games master. Everyone just follows instructions and then start voting people out and that’s it.
I really enjoyed this game and can’t wait to bust it out on my next gaming night.
I think this is a great game as an ice breaker for a meeting, or a night of gaming.
How a night went for a Halloween party (groups of friends with family and another group of friends, some co-workers):
I handed out the cards, made sure to tell everyone to keep things a secret and to listen to the me, then I started the game.
I had everyone use their own names and make up a story of what they do in the “village”. Some people came up with great stories, some gave their name and nothing else. Those people usually are killed of the first night and they get to sit and watch the game unfold. After the game ends (which took 30 minutes with 20 people), everyone wanted to play it again. The next turn I did the same thing, because I’m horrible with names and I know others are as well, the people that gave just their name, suddenly had an interesting story. We played 3 times in a row.
The best part was after we were done, it was a running joke of who the werewolves had killed first and everyone had know each others name the rest of the night and the mix of friends were all talking.
