Werewords

This game moves fast as there is a new round each turn. It is fun to play and easy to learn once you get going. High quality material that holds up well. Small enough to store anywhere.

obsessed with this game, easily portable, super fun, doesnt need wifi.

This is a really fun game to play with big groups. It's simultaneously simple and sophisticated; downsides are that it does require your phone, though you could substitute a narrator with a timer if someone was willing to do that, but once your app is installed it does not require internet connection, so that's handy. I will say that the words it provides are not always words that kids under 12 and people unfamiliar with mainstream sports and pop culture will know, so that can be a challenge sometimes. Overall, though, great game and very fun.

One of my all time favorites- role deduction meets 20 questions. This is one of the easier role identity games anyone can play/start with as it is not very hard to play your roles and you don’t really need to fake other roles as well.

I’ve been looking for this game locally to no avail for ages. I’m glad I finally found it for a decent price. Everything game as advertised, but I wish I’d realized sooner that this was the base game without the expanded roles. Oh well, I guess I’ll settle for a 10-person game for now.

Werewords is a great game for family game night and for classrooms. You play as 1 of 4 personas. It's your job to either find the werewolf or convince the town that you are not a werewolf ready to strike. This is accomplished by trying to guess a word from clues given by the Mayor. The Seer tries to guide the townspeople to the correct word, and the Werewolf tries to steer them away. My teacher wife played it with her second grade class and they had a blast. We enjoy it while out to dinner since the pieces are good and sturdy and can take the abuse of a restaurant table. Just keep in mind that this game requires a free to download mobile app companion.

I have played this game with a group of strangers and family members. It’s a good game for getting to know people. For serious gamers this is a warm up game. It’s also good for people with a low attention span. For me it’s almost perfect, fast, challenging and fun.

This game has a LOT going for it. It is so easy to learn and usually I don't even have to teach or give instructions; I just play the app and the app tells people what to do. Each game is a max of 4 minutes (or you can adjust the time) so it is also a super quick game. Also, you can play up to 10 players and with an odd # of players, so it's good for any group. Everyone has loved this game so far and we usually play 5-15 rounds each session. I think the hidden roles works really well and really adds a lot of fun and laughs. At this price point (<$15) I think everyone should pick up a copy. I just picked up a 2nd copy and am hoping I can soon play with my younger nephew who is learning how to read. Another great aspect is that you can use custom word lists, and can also download custom word lists from their website.
