This game is great, especially with 5-8 people! My first suggestion would be to play with less "villager" cards and use other characters (minion, tanner, etc.). My second suggestion would be to always play with the 5-minute timer (for discussions), so the rounds go quicker. It also makes villagers try to get information quickly and moves the game along faster, which also allows werewolfs to try and stall & create confusion. Finally, at the end of the 5-minute timer, it counts down (3...2...1...Vote!) and everyone points at who they want to kill. This gives players (mainly werewolfs) the opportunity to say they'll vote for someone, but then switch their vote at the last second to try and win the game for their team (villager or werewolf).
they also could play the other variations of this game like ultimate supervillain, that have more roles, eg. temptress(alpha wolf in another variation) and mirror man
It was a total pleasure watching you guys play werewolf and especially the last round when Aaron bamboozles everyone. I loved Calvin’s reaction of being mind blown and I’m glad Calvin and Aaron won the last round. You guys had me laughing on the ground. Favorite reaction and game night channel 🥳
I love how we all know this comment will definitely be applicable, even without watching the video yet. At the same time though, DAMN, that was some top tier Machiavellian bullshit he just pulled off
You should play more this game one of the best games of hidden roles. Also try to play with other roles like, minion: is on the werewolf team but he's not a werewolf, Tanner: he wins if he dies, so he will try to act suspicious. Then with the expansion daybreak you get alpha Wolf that can make someone a werewolf and some other. And please play some day Coup.
If there's one thing that bugs me about game night videos, it's that they nearly never play a game more than once. And on the one hand that's great cause it means they try out as many different games as possible, but on the other hand sometimes they happen upon a game that you can tell REALLY clicks with them and they have a ton of fun with it, but then it's never brought back anyway.
This is definitely a great game, especially once you play it for a while. It may seem a bit chaotic but, I've played it a fair few times and the chaos just makes it more interesting lol
You should include cards like tanner or minion to add a person who wants to die. It opens up more strategies and makes it harder to catch the werewolves.
This game is so fun but it relies on everyone knowing every character role inside and out so you can run through every possible scenario. Great job, you guys just have to play it a lot more to memorize the characters.
Theres actually no swearing in this game. When you say you swear to god and lie it just makes you look bad. So shane saying that is very convincing he is telling the truth.
One of my all time favorite games. However, few tips: 1) Play with the 5 minute timer, game lends itself to quick short rounds and discussions and sometimes chaotic pointing at the end 2) Less villages, play with tanner, minion, insomniac and or doppelgänger if playing with basic game 3) If you plan on playing more in future, I definitely recommend getting One Night Daybreak, Vampire and Alien as well as they all have new and different game mechanisms I do hope to see this game revisited again (soon) since you guys would have a clearer and better understanding of the rules and how it’s played!
Another tip I'd have would be for the Seer to look at the two cards rather than one person. Aaron played that 3rd game well with a seer bluff, but looking at those two center cards removes claim options from the Werewolf even if you're at risk of being swapped because even if you're no longer the Seer, you hold the most information at the table. Even if you become a Werewolf, you have more bluff options and ways to spin a consistent narrative. You can even use a double bluff play depending on the roles to "reasonably" and explain away any suspicions on you. For example, if you were originally the Seer and you saw the drunk and another role like the Doppelgänger, you could mirror a claim as someone else or even as the drunk if you get swapped and become a Werewolf because that information is available to you. There are some holes with this, but if you spin it right, it could work
Having facial hair myself too, I completely understand how Calvin feels when people always kick you out of the game for that reason in the multinight version!
I’ve played this game with my family but the bigger version, I love it! I won once by being a werewolf, managed to turn someone against the other villager , never felt more proud😂
Funny thing at 20:00, it's that the SAFEST option for RICK would have been to hang Shane, not Calvin. Because there's a world where Shane WAS a robber, and he ROBBED Calvin and realized he was a werewolf. So even if Rick saw Calvin as his partner at the start, doesn't mean he remained his partner. The only unknown on the table is "what was shane, really? a villager? or a robber that found out he's the new werewolf and pretended to be villager after" In which case the ONLY constant in this scenario is the Rick knew he was a werewolf and that aaron swapped him with shane, so even if shane was a robber and stole the card back from Rick, Rick would have 100% win guaranteed, either with town or as a werewolf. Because if Shane was a robber and robbed someone that ISN'T a werewolf, then shane would have provided that information and confirmed a missing gap in any of aaron/eric's stories, so he either is NOT a robber (and rick would win), or he IS a robber and he stole a werewolf from either rick or calvin, and rick STILL wins. Just food for thought @Blindwave
Please can you come back and play this again. Its so much fun to watch. Fakin it is a fun 1 which is part of the jackbox party games on ps4. You just need your phones as a controller. 1 person is a faker and you have to catch him
This was a nice set of rounds, but please... consider making a "hidden roles" version. It can be really entertaining for viewers like me to figure out the true roles themselves without the mid-game cuts. _(had to legit hold my ears and look away during the second and third round)_
would love to see a day and night game where their werewolves killing and the doctor/bodyguard saving them self or am other at night. or the twins that only know that each other are twins
Oh my goodness this game is fun I've watched Just Kidding Party play this a bunch and I was actually hoping you guys would. I'm sure it's hilarious. (I didn't watch the video yet)
Of all places, the first time I'd ever heard about this game was from Overlord: The Undead Oh!, which is the gag manga spin-off of Overlord the anime/light novels. It was a really fun chapter. The rules were mostly the same as in this video, though with more than one turn. If you've read the chapter or are even just a fan of of Overlord in general, then you know what it means to say that Ainz-sama always wins. It's a shame only the first six chapters have been translated to english. I can't find anything for all the other chapters.
Shane in the second round, you just made two mistakes. 1) You gave up way to early. -Once Eric said he was the werewolf you cant just give up and say "Well you got me. - I stole your card" Instead you should of said, "I was just trying to find out information that's why I faked stealing your card I really stole Aarons. You gave in WAY to early." 2) You didn't look at the card you stole. - If you looked at the card you stole you would know it was a werewolf then you could of faked stealing one of the other players cards knowing they most likely weren't a werewolf. So you could steal Aarons say you were his role now, then wait for the group to randomly lynch one person, you could find inconsistencies in the persons card you stole from and get them killed.
The whole switching roles without letting people know idea seems odd, because I feel like it kinda muddles up what you're supposed to even be trying to achieve. Like, Shane goes from villager to werewolf in the first one, but he doesn't know it, and therefore continues to try and play in favor of the villager team. And by the time he finds out that he potentially IS a werewolf now, there's no way for him to really change his gameplay accordingly in order to try and win, even if he wanted to, because he'd instantly get fucked. As a converted werewolf, he has no way to play in favor of his own team, because he has no way of even knowing he's on that team until someone outs him publicly - once the role swap is made public, you effectively end up with two werewolves, but one of them isn't actually playing as a werewolf at all, while the former werewolf goes full villager. So basically the only way for Shane to "win" at that point is to do so completely by accident. The same would be true for Rick too, though he at least would be pretending to be a villager regardless. I realize that the confusion and mayhem is part of what makes the game work, but I guess it just feels like the incentives get muddled a bit too much for some players in certain scenarios, for me. You could play the perfect werewolf game, manipulate the town into lynching an innocent person, only to then realize you somehow became a villager in the middle of the night, and you just defeated yourself without realizing it.
Although it should be said that it isn’t impossible to find out what role you’ve been given during the discussion with a little bit of logical deduction.
the way this is balanced though is that you never know who's lying and when, or what kind of strategy they're going for. this group is too new to the game to showcase this, but to use round 2 as an example, after eric called out shane as the new werewolf all shane had to say was "actually I was lying when I said I switched with eric, so now we know he's the werewolf" and he has a winning chance again. but because this is still new to him, he just goes "shit" and accepts defeat. this is the kind of game that you have to have a few practice goes on before you start to "get" how to really play
You are always supposed to play like your first role, Rick is meant to keep playing as a werewolf there in round 1 even tho he trusted Aaron.. (What if Aaron was lying to bait out the werewolfs?)
Aaron played like a top 5 villain of all time in that last game. It was awesome !!!
They should've gone for Calvin in that round, he was a surefire werewolf if they believed Eric
Aaron just played so well that even though calvin was the sure thing they followed aaron
@@greatwhitesufi why did they stop doing game night?
That was some mastermind conniving trickery from Aaron in round 3. Well played sir.
Aaron, the great Bamboozler.

44:38 - “bald, bit-ter man” (Shane ya did it again, I died laughing)
It was a total pleasure watching you guys play werewolf and especially the last round when Aaron bamboozles everyone. I loved Calvin’s reaction of being mind blown and I’m glad Calvin and Aaron won the last round. You guys had me laughing on the ground. Favorite reaction and game night channel 🥳
Robbers are supposed to look at their new card to avoid situations like round 2
yup. i facepalmed when shane didnt look at his card in round 2
I cringed, why Shane, it didn’t matter, but you did not follow the RULES
Aaron reaction in the last game was so hilarious:
"He's f***ing lying. That f***ing liar." all the while He was lying too. totally cracks me up.
Aaron even fooled me into voting against Rick even though I saw him become a werewolf he is a evil genius or I'm a idiot could be both lol
Aaron freakin dominated that first game!
EDIT: Holy crap! That third game! 😲
Bald. Bitter. Man. He was a Bald, Bitter, Genius!
Round 2
Eric: *was a werewolf*
Shane: *switched with Eric*
Aaron, first sentence into the game: "Well Shane is a werewolf..."
Me: :0
Dammit Aaron

@@Wolf6119 I'm sure they'll play those games again in the future. They've played Spyfall on video a few times. Just give them time.
Man this game is great, my favorite card is always the doppelgänger even if it makes the game lasts twice as long.
Aaron is my favourite Game Night Blind Waver.
Game nights are always so much fun. Love these guys.
Aaron is the GOAT at these type of games
This is definitely a great game, especially once you play it for a while. It may seem a bit chaotic but, I've played it a fair few times and the chaos just makes it more interesting lol
Aaron is the personification of Mischief...
this was amazing OMG.. I had so much fun watching this!
I would want Aaron to be my teammate for game night all the time he played this shit so good lol.
What good did humanity do to deserve this video?
Calvin at 34:55 - "Dance puppets! DANCE!!!!"
This video is so well made! Love the work put in guys!!
The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives
This game is really fun, it's even better if roleplaying the deduction
i really enjoyed watching you guys play this game, hope to see part 2 :D really nice game you got there, i hope i'll buy it soon as well
You should include cards like tanner or minion to add a person who wants to die. It opens up more strategies and makes it harder to catch the werewolves.
Pls play this again
In game 2 , Shane was supposed to look at his "changed" card .. only than he will not give away that he is the new werewolf.
This game is so fun but it relies on everyone knowing every character role inside and out so you can run through every possible scenario. Great job, you guys just have to play it a lot more to memorize the characters.
11:53 It was the Apostle Peter who was crucified upside-down. That bothered me a tad.
Hell yes! I’ve been waiting for you guys to play this. This is my favorite game to play with friends.
This is so Nice Boys!!! Love watching your content keep it up
Just call aaron littlefinger because that was some serious verbal maneuvering!
I have played this before. Love this game! The more players, the better.
These types of board games are the best IMO
One of your best video. Love it, keep up guys!
This is a great game! One of my favorite games to play with a group.
Theres actually no swearing in this game. When you say you swear to god and lie it just makes you look bad. So shane saying that is very convincing he is telling the truth.
I loved it! It's a very entertaining watch!
that last round was pretty great
Poor Calvin in round one 😂
I was playing this just last week with some people and absolutely love this game
One of my all time favorite games. However, few tips:
1) Play with the 5 minute timer, game lends itself to quick short rounds and discussions and sometimes chaotic pointing at the end
2) Less villages, play with tanner, minion, insomniac and or doppelgänger if playing with basic game
3) If you plan on playing more in future, I definitely recommend getting One Night Daybreak, Vampire and Alien as well as they all have new and different game mechanisms
I do hope to see this game revisited again (soon) since you guys would have a clearer and better understanding of the rules and how it’s played!
I played a PSVR game called Werewolves Within which is basically the same idea as this game. It was pretty hilarious.
This game is so cool! Been waiting for the boys to check it out.
Another tip I'd have would be for the Seer to look at the two cards rather than one person. Aaron played that 3rd game well with a seer bluff, but looking at those two center cards removes claim options from the Werewolf even if you're at risk of being swapped because even if you're no longer the Seer, you hold the most information at the table.

There are some holes with this, but if you spin it right, it could work
Having facial hair myself too, I completely understand how Calvin feels when people always kick you out of the game for that reason in the multinight version!
is it normal for couple of weeks I go to sleep listening to this exact video
I’ve played this game with my family but the bigger version, I love it! I won once by being a werewolf, managed to turn someone against the other villager , never felt more proud😂
Shane opened his eyes. He seems like the type😂
Aaron is the god of mischief .
Yes please! My favorite game
Shane always gets so mad when people play the games. Like everyone should always tell the truth and never try to get ahead.
Even though he played everyone when they played the thing outpost 31.
Same idea as Mafia. Fun game
Town of Salem is a great game like this!
Aaron totally Reverse Flash'd that third round. Playing everybody

Just food for thought @Blindwave
Sweet! I have been waiting for this!
16:28 it’s a prediction of the last game
I get so excited seeing this game. When do y'all do werewolf? How often cuz this is fun.
Holy shit! Might as well call Aaron Mirage now cuz he bamboozled them all! I am so fucking impressed😂
Please can you come back and play this again. Its so much fun to watch. Fakin it is a fun 1 which is part of the jackbox party games on ps4. You just need your phones as a controller. 1 person is a faker and you have to catch him

Ive played this a lot in my telegram friend's group xd
I have never seen anyone have this much problems playing this game
Oh my goodness this game is fun I've watched Just Kidding Party play this a bunch and I was actually hoping you guys would. I'm sure it's hilarious. (I didn't watch the video yet)
damn wanna see more of tha! nice vid
Anyone else wanna see them play Secret Hitler again?
there is now a seson 2 on one punch man
......Munchkin....play Munchkin
Guys, this is that one guy that begs you to do the overwatch shorts. I’m begging you, please do the doomfist “Reunion” overwatch shorts.

It's not cool to "want to die" either. Just try your best to win no matter what. Don't just give up.
Love this game!!!
25:35 lol
YESSSSSSS
robbers get to look at the card they swapped?
Yes
Round 3 was some death note shit
Rick says werewoof
Dang all those candylands.
“But that’s okay cause I want to die”
The round thing was like 12 seconds long editor could have shortened that, video was great though and I appreciate the editors work.
Havent finished it but im guessing the werewolf is either Rick,Calvin,Or Eric each round (for obvious reasons).
Oh my god YEEEES MOOORRE
Great game.
awesome!!!
But the insomniac wakes up at night
Play This Again!!!!!!
Speaking of werewolfs where is episode 9 of hellsing abriged
YAAAAAAAAAY

If Shane knew that he could look at the card, then he would have known he was a werewolf and could have won.

Finally!!!
no Minion card in first match? That's a shame!
Aaron lol that's how I play it
There is a slight overlay weird thing
play MAFIA :D
Mirxa This is Mafia but it’s with fictional characters.
