Werewolf

Werewolf is a themed game of Mafia, played with a supernatural enemy (werewolves) instead of organized crime. The role names are different to those in mafia: there are Villagers instead of Townies, Seers instead of Cops, etc.

As the person who came up with the idea of "Werewolf", let me note that I intended it to be the same game as Mafia, rule-wise. I only changed the role names. I guess that makes it a Theme Game in the sense used on this wiki, but in the "fictional theme" sense, not the game-mechanics sense.

Since then, I've heard people refer to "Werewolf" and "Mafia" as related games with slightly different rule mechanics. I didn't hear what they thought the difference was, though. -- Andrew Plotkin
