Silver is a traditional card game with a werewolf twist. Your village has been overrun, and the number on each card in front of you tells you how many werewolves its resident attracts. You start with five face-down cards and may peek at two of them. On your turn you draw from the deck or discard pile and either swap it into your village or discard it to trigger the character's special power, from nosy glances to tricky swaps. When you think your village has the fewest werewolves, you call a vote, but everyone else then gets one last turn to save theirs. Think of it as Cabo with fangs: memory, bluffing and a good poker face matter more than luck.

Who it's for

You like Cabo or Skyjo and want a version with a spooky theme and a nice dose of special powers.

Not for you if…

You dislike memory in card games or want something with deeper strategy. Silver is more about tricks and nerve.

Vibe's take

Tense and slyly funny. You are always half-remembering what is hiding in your row, and the last-turn scramble after someone calls the vote is the best part.
