What is Werewolf?
A village is hiding werewolves. Each night they attack; each day the villagers argue and vote one suspect out. Werewolf Online is the narrator: it deals the secret roles, wakes the werewolves, the Doctor and the Detective in turn, announces the dawn, times the discussion and records the vote — so the whole group can play, no cards or moderator required.
Roles scale with the group (one werewolf per four players), the Detective and Doctor are optional, and the final screen reveals everyone's role along with the number of nights and eliminations.
