As some of you might know, a popular game to play during BarCamps is the game of Werewolf. Werewolf is a very social mind game (based on the Mafia game), where a group of villagers go to bed at night to find that the werewolves ate one of them when they wake up. So, as a revenge, the villagers decide to lynch one of their fellows who they suspect to be a werewolf. This goes on until either all the werewolves get lynched, or all villagers get eaten during the night. Obviously there is basically no way the villagers can know who the werewolves are which makes it a very fun and mind-fucking game to play.

So I wanted to get some special cards for a long time now that assign all the players their character, and I was actually planning to use Moo-cards for this, just as some other people had done. I didn’t want to order 100 cards though so I was in a pickle. Imagine my surprise when I found actual real Werewolf cards in an ordinary game shop in The Netherlands! 24 nice cards for only €9 (£6.5)!

There are some weird characters in the game which we will probably never use, but if you go to the Flickr photo and take a look at the notes you will see what every character is supposed to be.
