Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Werewolf is a favorite at game conventions and has been written about in several mainstream articles.
More About Werewolf: Werewolf takes place in a village infested by two or more werewolves (depending on the total number of players). Each player is secretly assigned a role, which in the baisc game could be werewolf, villager, or seer. At night, the werewolves kill a villager. During the day, the remaining villagers choose someone they suspect to be a werewolf and lynch that player. Werewolves win when there are an equal number of villagers and werewolves; villagers win when they have killed all of the werewolves.
