What is Werewolf?
In a peaceful village, werewolves passing as humans have crept in among the people. The villagers talk and vote to expose them, while the werewolves hide who they are and attack a villager every night. Banish every werewolf and the village wins. Once the surviving werewolves match the humans in number, the werewolves win.
Werewolf grew out of Mafia, a psychological game devised by a psychology student at Moscow State University, with the werewolf legend worked in. In Japan it is also known as Nanji wa Jinrō Nariya (Are You a Werewolf?), and it caught on quickly over the internet.
