Such a coincedence!

When I was browsing the local fantasy store a few weeks ago, I actually found the official werewolf game and could not resist buying it! I even managed to convince my friends to come over and play the game, but unfortunately, there was so much sangria and all that we never got around to it.

As I will be working as a camp counsellor for young teens this summer and be in charge of coming up with group activities, I'll have ample opportunity to experiment with playing live werewolves and I'll be sure to report back to you.

I think live werewolves will be completely different in one respect: it requires you to be able to lie in real life. Not everyone can do that without blushing.

Before I ever heard of Werewolf, I did play live "Mafia" once, on an island in Scotland, but it was sort of the third after dinner game of the evening, following "The Adjective Game" and I think "Ring of Fire", as a result of which we didn't take it very seriously. I remember my Italian cousin won as a Mafioso...

I see the situation...

But live-werewolf can be fun and quite intense too. Just try it with a good company (and with no adjective games to "warm it up")

My youth group has recently gotten into playing Mafia. It's a pretty fun time. They know I play WW here on the 'Downs a lot, so I either get killed during the Day very early, or die during the Night. I've only ever been the Mafia once, and died rather early.

It is a lot different, but I can see so many similarities, too. Certain people in the group remind me so much of people here it's not even funny. Actually, my youth pastor is really good at being the Mafia, wins almost every time he's the evil ones, and he reminds me so much of Eomer. Not just from winning as the evil team, but also playing style.

Anyway, it's a lot of fun. I get to be the moderator most of the time also, so that's good practice.

That's my sister. Everytime she's the Mafia, we just ask her if she is, and we can always tell if she's lying. She's only survived past Day 1 once when she was the Mafia. Even then she was killed off by the Assassin (Hunter), who, ironically, happened to be her best friend. Good times.
