The Werewolf Game

From Tales

The Werewolf Game is a popular forum-based game played on The Tales. After a short run on PCGF, the game was moved to The Tales and since then a large number of games have been run. Similar to the classic parlour game 'blink murder', the game sees the majority of players trying to root out the werewolves in their midst while the werewolves regularly kill players. Over the years the game has been played with a variety of settings, as well as new variants of the rules being developed. The game still remains popular on the forum, although there are often breaks in between games.
