Staff Answer

Werewolf isn't very fun or fair with fewer than 7 players, since the group is too small for the deduction aspect.

Werewolf can be played with as many people as you like, so long as you have at least 7 players. Once you hit 15 players, add a werewolf to the deck for every 4 players in the game.

Question

For the Witch role, does the moderator need to tell him/her who is the person killed by the werewolves at night time before he/she can save the killed person?

Nope! The Witch has to guess which person to resurrect without knowing who the werewolves have just chosen to kill.

If the Seer is killed, they're out of the game and must remain silent, even if they know something the other players don't!

You can motion a save with a thumbs up, and a poisoning with a finger across the throat.

Question

How do you "kill" a player as a werewolf?

Community Answer

It depends on your rules. You can make it so if they touch the player, they die, or pretend to bite.

Question

How does the Seer find out the information allowed and how does the witch poison the werewolves?

Community Answer

There should be a narrator figure who is always awake and helps conduct the game. The character who need to kill or save someone must silently let the narrator know during the night so the narrator can proclaim what happened at dawn.

Question

What good is it to be the Seer?

Itsnotreallyhomestuck

Community Answer

As the Seer, you can view someone's card each night and therefore learn their role. This is useful to find werewolves or people you can trust.

Question

Are there more roles?

LaraKnowsHow

Community Answer

You can make up roles. Be creative and think of people that aren't included yet and DIY some cards yourself. You can also buy gameplay packs which include more cards and roles.

The seer can do anything they wish with the information the find out, but they don't want to give away their role too much or else the werewolves will want to kill them.

Question

How does the narrator tell the seer if the narrator forgets everybody's role?

Community Answer

If you are a narrator, you may find it useful to write down on a sheet of paper who got what role, which makes it a lot easier to keep track of things. But for most roles, it doesn't really matter if you know who got what, because you'll see them open their eyes when you tell them to.

Question

Do players killed via voting reveal their identity upon death?

Spraggaranks

Community Answer

As this is an evolving game with no 'official' rules set you can opt to play either way. Personally I think it's best to reveal their identity once they have been eliminated, otherwise it gets a bit tricky, even confusing, if say after the doctor has been eliminated, the moderator keeps asking for the doctor to wake up and heal somebody when obviously this role action cannot be performed because the doctor has been eliminated! Why? Likewise with the seer. Plus, knowing the role of the player who has just been eliminated can cause more tension, intrigue, and animosity amongst the players!

Question

Why do we have to drum on our lap or table?

Community Answer

It's to make sure that players don't know who the werewolf, doctor, or any other roles are. Sometimes when playing, people will make noises or movements and the clapping/drumming is meant to cover that up. It's purely an option though.

Yes, they do. Once you die, you are required to reveal your identity. Some actions can only be taken if this identity was revealed.
