Werewords

This is my friend group’s favorite game to play currently. I do have one suggestion. It is my opinion that there’s a flaw in the game, and it occurs when the doppelgänger copies the werewolf role and the village does not guess the secret word. When this happens, the app tells the village to find the werewolves OR the doppelgänger, which essentially exposes that they were evil that round. I would suggest removing the doppelgänger from the list of evil players during the role guessing phase. Doing so would open the opportunity for an evil doppelgänger to behave as though they copied a village player, like a seer, and make it less easy for the village to guess the evil team. Otherwise, the village always knows the doppelgänger picked an evil player’s card and it makes it easier for them to guess. At the very least, the option to toggle this as a setting would be greatly appreciated. Currently as a workaround, we just tell the doppelgänger to select the villager role even if they flip a werewolf card at the beginning so they don’t get exposed as evil during the role guessing phase.

First off, having an app as a narrator for a mafia-style social deduction game will forever be Bezier's legacy. They really nailed it. This game is a great example of it. Not only is the voice easy to understand, but the on-screen inputs and displays are incredibly effective during gameplay. That right there is perfect for a 5-star review, but then there's more! The difficulty settings, custom and community lists, even options like allowing proper nouns or not, truly makes this game a perfect fit for any game night. This game is always a hit, and the app is essential for its succes.

Love this game. Picked up the deluxe version at GenCon, but we tried to play and it took us quite a while to figure out that there were multiple versions of the game to choose from on the settings page. It would’ve been helpful to have us pick which version of the game we were playing at the start, which would’ve helped alleviate some frustration. Also, when choosing more players, we didn’t realize when a role was added/removed, which caused some confusion. Overall, awesome game and can’t wait to see more from bezier!
