The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow
The original lie-to-your-friends game: villagers versus werewolves, one vote at a time, until someone gets it wrong.
Who it's for
Big parties and large friend groups who want the definitive social deduction experience with zero setup and endless replay value.
Not for you if…
You need something to do after being eliminated early, because once the villagers vote you out, you are just watching.
Vibe's take
tense, social, accusatory, dramatic, endlessly replayable

About this game
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is the granddaddy of social deduction, the game that made an entire genre of lying to your friends respectable. A Moderator guides you through night and day: werewolves silently pick a victim in the dark, then the village wakes, argues, and votes someone off, hoping they picked correctly. Special roles like the Seer, the Witch, and the Little Girl add real information and real risk to the deliberation, while everyone eliminated gets to watch the chaos unfold from the sidelines. It needs no board and barely any setup, just a big enough table and people willing to lie convincingly to their friends.
