About This Event

NEW PLAYERS: please arrive for 5:30 if possible so we can explain the game to you :) Also, 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. Viewers of the BBC show "the Traitors" will also be familiar as the show is based off games like Werewolves. 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! Any questions feel free to ask :)
