This is weird since any villagers with a smart person would've came up with a damned code to figure out the wolves. The wolves would've pretended and acted more friendly. The regular villager's would've been quietly wondering.
its important to notice, that in this game people is aware that there are 2 wolves, giving them already information... in reality people dont even know they are playing this game and are unaware of the qty of wolves.
Well it’s about 3% by population. If you must know. However you can endlessly generate them via privation. I think the real villains are the lies villagers tell each other and themselves though. That they let drive them. They only really have to like themselves more than they like you. There’s this idea that humans are fundamentally good. A lot of Enlightenment thinkers thought that. Whereas a lot of collectivists thought people were fundamentally evil. Well in reality, it’s far easier to choose to be evil than good. There are 3% who are born ailing from malady of the mind. More who acquire it young. The conclusions of enlightenment thinkers allows for the most to choose approximate good most efficiently however. Funny how that ruse was pulled. Now villagers are naive, dependent, and weak. Because they don’t know what they are capable of. The strong on the other hand are considered werewolves because they don’t know what actual werewolves look like. And so those capable of both strength and compassion are the most susceptible to accepting that accusation. To failing to be what they ought.
The greatest trick was convincing everyone that he was good when he enslaved us in a garden, and that God was evil when he educated us and gave us freedom. So the devil punished God by claiming he is the bad one and tortures people for eternity
That's a cute quote, but it's unrelated. The villagers or players know the wolf exists, they just don't know who it is. So not the same. But it would be fun to play if there was no werewolf
Nah among us has task and things to do. It's town of Salem you kill at night and then the villagers pick someone to linch, and like in town of Salem the villagers have no chance to walk in on the killer and report them. That's why it's easier to beat the killers in among us.
In Italy we call it Lupus, and it's like the guy explains it. Except for some different figures, like the "curious child" who's the only villager allowed to open her eyes by night without getting noticed by wolves lest she gets killed. It's a very fun game to do.
Basically Werewolf, Mafia, Town of Salem are different versions of the same game, and each has their own extra roles, mostly for villagers because, as was said in the video, without those roles villagers lose most of the times

Werewolf was such a fun game back then, we even played it in class at the end of the semester. There was so much tension and drama, the game would even take hours just to finish. Now its just Among us..
@@savadoveIt’s a game mode in the sandbox game “Garry’s Mod” with a similar premise. There are some amount of traitors whose objective it is to kill all of the innocents. The traitors know who is on their team or not. The innocents have to kill the traitors but they don’t know who is on their side or not. Also everyone has guns. Among Us follows a similar premise, and it seems like both were derived from either Mafia/Werewolf or something similar.

Interesting! Never knew the origin, and I never heard it called werewolf before! I grew up playing this and we always called it Mafia, Assassin, and once I heard it be referred to as Silent Killers. We played it in Sunday school but replaced the werewolves and villages with Jedi and Sith. We also added a medic element who would wake up after the “Sith” killed and went back to sleep, and the medic would point at someone to save them. If the person the medic picked was the one the Sith killed, that person would be saved. If the medic picked the wrong person, then obviously whoever the Sith picked would die. In high school we played a version of this and my history teacher would use the deaths as a fun teaching method and teach us about ancient ways people used to kill each other ritualistically. He was a cool teacher.
Yeah I’ve heard a Batman version where the commissioner was the one who saves but the main version I know is mafia, sheriff who checks people out each night to see if they are the mafia, and the doctor who saves.
“AmongUs” before it was digital. I played this version, but we called it “mafia” and there was a “doctor” and a “sheriff” who could save/investigate people during the night.
I played mafia and werewolf exactly once each. I wish more people played games like these in college than being on their phone or going out for a smoke during breaks.
Being Born Again, filled with the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Truth), and a minimum understanding of the Bible destroys all the influence of any devil in existence.
among us was based off social games like this one. werewolf (mafia as it’s sometimes called) has been around since the 90’s, maybe earlier. among us was just the first version that’s actually fun for more than 8 minutes
“you ever heard of werewolf?” “no.” “ok well have you ever heard of Among Us?” “oh yeah.” edit: the reason i chose among us to reference was because it was at least relevant in the past few years, my bad i didn’t know about a 40 year old game.
The game is also called Mafia. The guy missed one important thing. Then everyone closes their eyes, the mafia guys can open their eyes and see who is mafia. The game is super interesting.
That is what he says , because minority of people have hidden information, they can manipulate others who dont know the information to kill each others
@@Touchybananawhen night comes, the mafia members open their eyes again and point to the person they want to kill, it's possible that they disagree but usually the godfather have the last say, after that the person who's making sure no one is cheating ask everyone to open their eyes and give them the news, of course there are lots of different possibilities but this is the simple answer to your question
If I'm not mistaken point of both is same, though through time they differ from each other, as i recall mafia has certain amount of roles, when werewolf nowadays have almost everyone with different role but werewolves still bad guys
Good day to you sir. If you and your friend gets chosen as werewolves. You understand how you know all the others are villagers, right. That is the information he means. Noone else knows who is a werewolf and who is a villager. The werewolves know. They thereof have hidden information. There is no problem with knowing the accuracy of that information. What you're probably referring to is the information the other players give you during the game. That is not the hidden information that gives the advantage that was the main point of the clip. If not then please elaborate. Sincere regards.
@@user-gh9cs9xu8f I was just referring to the fact he was commenting about the nature of the game. That an uninformed group is dangerous. I’m simply saying that it’s also just as dangerous to have an “informed” group of its fake or twisted information, which unfortunately our society is riddled with.
Pretty straight forward tbh. If Obama, for example, supports it. You do the opposite. Because he is essentially Satan. Same goes for Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau etc. If a group of demons want you to do something, you do the opposite. It’s actually never been more clear.
I understand where you're coming from, and it is a good thought to keep in mind, but the word "informed" implies proper and correct information. Essentially, the game is proving the point that you are making here
There are several of these games, "one night werewolf", the expansion pack " ultimate werewolf", " town of Salem" (online game), "Mafia", etc... Even "among us" (online) and "good cop, bad cop" are similar. My teen LOVES these games and we often play them in large group game nights. This is an interesting view of the game and I agree with it 100%. We actually use these games for critical thinking and debate. I do remember when we started learning these games I looked at my husband and said "oh crap, we are teaching our kids how to lie" 🤣 To win the game (no matter the side you are on) you need to employ statistics, reasoning, probability, debate, persuasion, lying, keeping a poker face, etc.... your teammates are pretty important too and leading is another skill in this. There is a lot to be learned while playing these games.
I played a game like this in middle school called “Psycho”. Same rules, but only one killer, or psycho, in a group of 15 kids. Shoutout to Mrs. Harper for arranging the games at recess.
English speakers call it werewolves, in Poland we call it Mafia and i gotta say it's an entertaining bonding experience, a good brain exercise, a group psychological adventure and it holds so much potential as we would always add characters with their own roles assigned to them. Love this game, too bad i dont get to play it anymore
English speaker here, I've always called it Mafia, but a friend of mine who is also an English speaker but was raised pretty far from me calls it Werewolf
I'm an English speaker and I immediately opened up the comments to see who remembers it as mafia. We also had added rules tho such as sheriff's and nurses and a jury etc. the more people playing the better
It has been years since the last time I played this game and I never thought about that. It seems more pertinent if you add the fact that the version I learned included 3 more roles : a mayor who had the final say in each decisions took by the villagers, a witch who had the power to check the cards of any player and could act freely (either sides with the werewolfs, sides with the villagers or lets the chaos reigns, etc...) and a hunter who had the power and possibility to eliminate one player per round during night time. And now I want to play that game again ! Who's in ?
Here in Belgium it’s a popular childrens/teenagers game too. We usually have a few more characters added too, among the villagers: a peeping tom, who is allowed to secretly open their eyes during the night; a mayor, whose vote counts for two; a witch, who has the ability to revive someone, or kill an extra person; etc.
Same! I grew up in canada tho haha, played this game loads as a kid/teen at summer camp and stuff. We called it werewolf, but did a game almost identical called Mafia (which didn't have the doctor, witch, sheriff xtras)
You can use playing cards or dedicated cards for those rolls. One Night Werewolf is a spinoff game with loads of roles. Town of Salem and Blood on the Clocktower are similar social deduction games with lots of roles and new rules as well.
Better yet, don't tell anyone if they killed a villager or a werewolf and they only find out when a set number of turns passes. Give the wolves an opportunity to not kill overnight sometimes. If the game doesn't end immediately, the villagers may continue to kill even after both wolves are dead. Let's take the sociopathy deeper, guys
@@alexsherstiuk2537you have to basically decide collectively “okay no one has died for three nights, I think we won” but then the strategy is to kill one person as a werewolf then just go dead silent, so you have to have a maximum number of nights before the werewolf starves or something
There's an online game that's very similar with many other variables you can add if wanted called Town Of Salem. You can add things like a jailer who can jail someone for the night, a sheriff who has a gun with 3 shoots and can kill someone they suspect but if the person is innocent they die instead.
That would just be a zero sum game then... because everyone would be paranoid that the wolves are still out there and keep killing and turning on each other
this is in fact how you play it; I've never heard of anyone playing it the way he's describing here. The judge isn't supposed to reveal the identity of the dead until either party wins.
There are many games like this. The one I usually played was called mafia, but there was one killer; one sheriff, and one medic. Mafia is the murderer, sheriff is a good guy who can also kill who he thinks is the murderer, and the medic can save/protect a person and prevent them from getting killed
Us Germans have a variation as well: Numbers of werewolf's depend on the players, usually a 5:1 ratio. Within the villagers there are normally 2 witches, each having a potion of murder and one of healing, a thief wich can steal your card, a hunter who can take out another player if he's eliminated, a armour who makes 2 people's lives connected (if one player dies the other does to, there is always only one pair of loved ones) and a mayor who is elected by everyone on day 0 and has his regular vote plus a extra vote. All in all, this can possibly lead to: 1 Werewolf kill 2 Witch kills 1 Hunter kill 1 Loved one suicide 1 Vote kill All in all that's 6 players out in day one. Very cool
I once played a version where we had double roles and I was a lover (dies when the other lover dies) and a suicidal person (at night is just one of the villagers, but if is killed by the villagers during the day - winns whole game). I stirred villagers into believing that my lover lied and was actually a mafia member, they believed me and sentenced her, what killed me by proxy and I won😂😂😂😂.
In Belgium we have this: 2 warewolfs 1 witch 1 cupid Villagers (depends how many there are playing) And 1 sheriff (I think, I haven't played it in a long time) The witch can kill one person and protect one person from getting killed for one round. The cupid can pair up 2 people to be in love, when one partner dies, the other one dies too.
I always knew this as Mafia, and at Camp, we would play with the: Mafia, the killer The angel, who can save one person And the milkman, who can give someone milk( it’s pointless) And it would go for multiple rounds until they voted out the mafia or oh, but (predetermined number) villagers died. But then I recently discovered a game called One Night werewolf, which has many roles, is run by an app, the werewolf doesn’t kill someone, but instead they have to get the villagers to convince them that the werewolf is someone else.
In Spain we call la puta (the prostitute) but we keep our eyes open. There IS a killer, a police, a prostitute and rest are civilians. The killer kills winking his eye to a civilian, if he winks at the police he looses, if the police sees him wink he looses too. The civilians do nothing and the prostitute can revive someone by throwing a kiss
i think the point of a milkman is that he delivers at night and if a person is mafia he can't be out and killing at that night. So if milkman delivered to someone and no one got killed you know who is mafia
I know it by the name of “Mafia” and it was one of my go-to games when I was teaching musical theatre to kids. We also had a couple other roles including “medic” where they could choose someone to save, and “detective” where they could guess if someone was the werewolf and if they got it right they’d have to convince everyone else who the actual werewolf was during the group meeting without giving away their role. It gets people thinking and problem solving, and specifically gets them paying attention to body language and non verbal clues. I think it’s actually a wonderful lesson in how to read people when they’re lying or withholding info.
In the swiss version someone is the "peaky girl" or "insomniac" and they are allowed to peak. Then theres the hunter who can take someone with themselves when they die, then cupid who can make 2 People fall in love and if one dies then both die, then the witch that can rescue someone on the brink of deatg once and kill someone once. Then theres the "seer" that can check one persons role each night. I also think theres a thief that can switch roles with someone.
YESSS when I was in band back in middle school and high school I would always play this game it was so much fun because half of us would just pick to kill our friends.
I have played this game with friends for a few hundred hours. By now we usually play with 3-4 wolves and the villagers have a win rate of over 70%. The discussions for for who to hang usually take over 1 hour. So a full game takes about 5 hours. The wolves are only at an advantage when the villagers are hasty. When they take their time to properly assess every single aspect and person, it becomes tremendously difficult for the wolves to not make a mistake and reveal themselves.
"Werewolf" is the commercial game you can buy with fancy cards. But many Americans have been playing it for decades without printed cards and rules. We also call it Mafia.
@@Bminutes And in the game werewolves don't kill randomly either. The two werewolves pick someone together. They are a conspiracy working together. This clip literally talks about that aspect.
@@paplooEscobar It is the same rules. a set of impostors have to kill crewmates until there's at least as many of the impostors and crewmates left (since that's when they can't be voted out anymore so they auto win) And you can also make a vote where you could throw an innocent out. Yes, Werewolf (Or Mafia, if you're playing the russian version) came first, but it is definitely "the same" game concept in among us too. Only instead of everyone taking turns there's a visual aid and tasks to do to distract people.
@AndrevusWhitetail no it's not, you are a sped. They have some rules that are the same, doesn't make them the same. Cheese and milk come from cows, are they the same? Use your fxcking brain u mong
You missed the entire point of the game though, whereas in among us you actually have clues that lead you to suss out the impostor here you have nothing and have to rely on uninformed judgement. They are nothing alike since one is meant to be a thought experiment and the other a game .
The student's name was Dimitry Davidoff, and he invented it as a way of teaching psychology to high school students (who he was teaching at the same time as getting his college education). He originally conceived of it as "Mafia", which is a name it is still widely known by today. It was Andrew Plotkin, an American game designer, who came up with the name Werewolf.
I can see why it's so popular the premise is very intriguing and a poignant and fun way of teaching. They got some bright thinkers over there in Russia.
The one thing he failed to mention is the math that has been done subsequently on this game. It turns out in order to have a greater than 50% chance of villagers winning, the number of werewolves needs to be less than the square root of the number of villagers. This gets really mind boggling at large numbers when you consider 101 werewolves have better odds than 10,000 villagers.
It's not mind boggling at all, the 101 werewolves have the advantage of knowing who their teammates are meanwhile the villagers have to assume everyone else is guilty by default... It also doesn't actually work out at that scale, never gonna get 10,000 people to cooperate or sus out the werewolves.
@@DrakeOolawhich is a good argument as for why humanity will fail. The power system gives a group of people control, and the remaining billions are too ill-informed to do anything about it.
I'm pretty sure that maths is kind of flawed. Based on that maths if there's 4 villagers at the start and 2 werewolves, 6 people total. There's a 50% chance of werewolves winning. There's a lot of games based on this, and I can tell you that in this scenario, werewolves win nearly 100% of the time. If I had to guess, the maths equation assumes some level of perfect play, which is rarely ever the case.
@@netecrivernetecassassins2945it’s entirely dependent then upon the altruism of the “informed minority”. Which is kind of the whole name of the game when it comes to democracy. Empowering the correct “werewolves” as it were.
I love these kind of stories. Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer people having the realisation that this type of thing is played out in real life and is indicative of human nature.
I think everyone knows. That’s why political leaders fear monger. They can secure elections by dehumanizing their opponents and in turn the people who support the opposition. Just had a friend say “okay after this election we should really change this government stuff cause no one is happy about what’s going on” He fears he has to wait because he’s afraid of his team losing even though he doesn’t support who he’s voting for. Tbh I feel like this will never change. Listen to most Americans. Most if not all say the government needs to improve significantly no matter who they vote for and admit they aren’t happy. It won’t happen till the people are sick enough to actually do something.
@@ronrico2620 That has nothing to do with it. People can't just disregard their own personal responsibilities to their families, based on an ideal that we generally don't agree with. That's insanely foolish.
There’s also One Night Ultimate: Werewolf. Even Vampire and Alien as expansions. Each player has a role to do during the night phase, except villagers never wake up. The Seer looks at a players card, the troublemaker exchanges cards between two other players, etc. So! You may very well have STARTED as a werewolf, but if there’s a troublemaker or a robber, you may not be that anymore. It’s pretty insane
He’s talking about a simpler version of mafia. I guess that’s why the villagers have information gathering abilities though. Otherwise the mafia would always win. One night warewolf is very fun though I’ve never tried the expansion

I played Werewolf. It was a card game that we referred to as Ultimate Werewolf and it had a bunch more roles
How’s that work? Is it a mob boss/Hitman instead of villager/werewolf
Interesting! Never knew the origin, and I never heard it called werewolf before! I grew up playing this and we always called it Mafia, Assassin, and once I heard it be referred to as Silent Killers. We played it in Sunday school but replaced the werewolves and villages with Jedi and Sith. We also added a medic element who would wake up after the “Sith” killed and went back to sleep, and the medic would point at someone to save them. If the person the medic picked was the one the Sith killed, that person would be saved. If the medic picked the wrong person, then obviously whoever the Sith picked would die. In high school we played a version of this and my history teacher would use the deaths as a fun teaching method and teach us about ancient ways people used to kill each other ritualistically. He was a cool teacher.
I was sure that "medic" (we had mafia and police) was always in the game XD
Yeah I’ve heard a Batman version where the commissioner was the one who saves but the main version I know is mafia, sheriff who checks people out each night to see if they are the mafia, and the doctor who saves.
We need more teachers like this..
Same
When did he say the werewolves were informed? Hid retelling of the rules seems incomplete. I had never heard of the gane before today
That's mafia bro
“AmongUs” before it was digital.
I played this version, but we called it “mafia” and there was a “doctor” and a “sheriff” who could save/investigate people during the night.
I played mafia and werewolf exactly once each. I wish more people played games like these in college than being on their phone or going out for a smoke during breaks.
No actually its town of salem not among us.
Ah, used to play the same game with different names. We used chess related names as it was chess club.
A very interesting game indeed
AMONG US
Bro that shits town of Salem
So basically, Among Us.
This was my thought too.
The other way around...
Except this is older and killing is more sneaky as Among Us you can see a kill
its what among us is based on.
I think more Town of Salem, just with 1 non-town role.

The game is also called Mafia. The guy missed one important thing. Then everyone closes their eyes, the mafia guys can open their eyes and see who is mafia. The game is super interesting.
Nah different games in my country
Then how do they decide who to kill???
That is what he says , because minority of people have hidden information, they can manipulate others who dont know the information to kill each others
@@Touchybananawhen night comes, the mafia members open their eyes again and point to the person they want to kill, it's possible that they disagree but usually the godfather have the last say, after that the person who's making sure no one is cheating ask everyone to open their eyes and give them the news, of course there are lots of different possibilities but this is the simple answer to your question
If I'm not mistaken point of both is same, though through time they differ from each other, as i recall mafia has certain amount of roles, when werewolf nowadays have almost everyone with different role but werewolves still bad guys
The problem is there’s a MAJOR issue knowing what you’re being informed with and how accurate or twisted it is.
Good day to you sir.
If you and your friend gets chosen as werewolves. You understand how you know all the others are villagers, right.
That is the information he means. Noone else knows who is a werewolf and who is a villager.
The werewolves know. They thereof have hidden information.
There is no problem with knowing the accuracy of that information.
What you're probably referring to is the information the other players give you during the game. That is not the hidden information that gives the advantage that was the main point of the clip.
If not then please elaborate.
Sincere regards.
@@user-gh9cs9xu8f I was just referring to the fact he was commenting about the nature of the game. That an uninformed group is dangerous.

Pretty straight forward tbh. If Obama, for example, supports it. You do the opposite. Because he is essentially Satan. Same goes for Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau etc.

I understand where you're coming from, and it is a good thought to keep in mind, but the word "informed" implies proper and correct information. Essentially, the game is proving the point that you are making here

): kids these days back in my day
I thought the same thing.
It's not, among us is cops and robbers in stealth mode
back in my day.
Yeah, though that’s a little different because you can catch them in the act.
There are several of these games, "one night werewolf", the expansion pack " ultimate werewolf", " town of Salem" (online game), "Mafia", etc... Even "among us" (online) and "good cop, bad cop" are similar. My teen LOVES these games and we often play them in large group game nights. This is an interesting view of the game and I agree with it 100%. We actually use these games for critical thinking and debate. I do remember when we started learning these games I looked at my husband and said "oh crap, we are teaching our kids how to lie" 🤣
To win the game (no matter the side you are on) you need to employ statistics, reasoning, probability, debate, persuasion, lying, keeping a poker face, etc.... your teammates are pretty important too and leading is another skill in this. There is a lot to be learned while playing these games.
The fact you left out trouble in terrorist town is criminal
This sounds like basis for the BBC TV gameshow The Traitors. I didn't think I'd enjoy watching it but honestly became quickly obsessed.
"Among Us" too?
Glad you mentioned One night werewolf and ultimate werewolf. I played them both and they’re really fun!
There’s a cool game called Wolvesville that is very similar to

Not finding out right away if the vote was wrong or right makes it even more interesting.

@@chriselliott5089 no, Lodi.
That sounds so familiar! I know that I've had to have played this somewhere as a child!
English speakers call it werewolves, in Poland we call it Mafia and i gotta say it's an entertaining bonding experience, a good brain exercise, a group psychological adventure and it holds so much potential as we would always add characters with their own roles assigned to them. Love this game, too bad i dont get to play it anymore
English speaker here, I've always called it Mafia, but a friend of mine who is also an English speaker but was raised pretty far from me calls it Werewolf
I speak English and have never heard it called werewolf
In america we call it mafia
I'm an English speaker and I immediately opened up the comments to see who remembers it as mafia. We also had added rules tho such as sheriff's and nurses and a jury etc. the more people playing the better
Im 9 and i call it among us
Two impostors vs 13 crewmates
It has been years since the last time I played this game and I never thought about that. It seems more pertinent if you add the fact that the version I learned included 3 more roles : a mayor who had the final say in each decisions took by the villagers, a witch who had the power to check the cards of any player and could act freely (either sides with the werewolfs, sides with the villagers or lets the chaos reigns, etc...) and a hunter who had the power and possibility to eliminate one player per round during night time.
And now I want to play that game again ! Who's in ?

Here in Belgium it’s a popular childrens/teenagers game too.

Same! I grew up in canada tho haha, played this game loads as a kid/teen at summer camp and stuff. We called it werewolf, but did a game almost identical called Mafia (which didn't have the doctor, witch, sheriff xtras)
Sounds pretty cool I see it surpassing Monopoly
@@jamiethehedgehog403 I mean, it's not exactly the same, but, Town of Salem is kinda similar in concept.
You can use playing cards or dedicated cards for those rolls. One Night Werewolf is a spinoff game with loads of roles. Town of Salem and Blood on the Clocktower are similar social deduction games with lots of roles and new rules as well.
I’m curious if anyone can tell me how does the peeping Tom not completely break the game can he not directly reveal what he saw or what?
Among us in a nutshell. Makes me wanna play the game again.
This got turned into a movie
Better yet, don't tell anyone if they killed a villager or a werewolf and they only find out when a set number of turns passes. Give the wolves an opportunity to not kill overnight sometimes. If the game doesn't end immediately, the villagers may continue to kill even after both wolves are dead. Let's take the sociopathy deeper, guys
Interesting but when do they know team A or team B won?
@@alexsherstiuk2537you have to basically decide collectively “okay no one has died for three nights, I think we won” but then the strategy is to kill one person as a werewolf then just go dead silent, so you have to have a maximum number of nights before the werewolf starves or something
There's an online game that's very similar with many other variables you can add if wanted called Town Of Salem. You can add things like a jailer who can jail someone for the night, a sheriff who has a gun with 3 shoots and can kill someone they suspect but if the person is innocent they die instead.
That would just be a zero sum game then... because everyone would be paranoid that the wolves are still out there and keep killing and turning on each other
this is in fact how you play it; I've never heard of anyone playing it the way he's describing here. The judge isn't supposed to reveal the identity of the dead until either party wins.
There are many games like this. The one I usually played was called mafia, but there was one killer; one sheriff, and one medic. Mafia is the murderer, sheriff is a good guy who can also kill who he thinks is the murderer, and the medic can save/protect a person and prevent them from getting killed
Us Germans have a variation as well:
Numbers of werewolf's depend on the players, usually a 5:1 ratio. Within the villagers there are normally 2 witches, each having a potion of murder and one of healing, a thief wich can steal your card, a hunter who can take out another player if he's eliminated, a armour who makes 2 people's lives connected (if one player dies the other does to, there is always only one pair of loved ones) and a mayor who is elected by everyone on day 0 and has his regular vote plus a extra vote.
All in all, this can possibly lead to:
1 Werewolf kill
2 Witch kills
1 Hunter kill
1 Loved one suicide
1 Vote kill
All in all that's 6 players out in day one.
Very cool
I once played a version where we had double roles and I was a lover (dies when the other lover dies) and a suicidal person (at night is just one of the villagers, but if is killed by the villagers during the day - winns whole game). I stirred villagers into believing that my lover lied and was actually a mafia member, they believed me and sentenced her, what killed me by proxy and I won😂😂😂😂.
In Belgium we have this:
2 warewolfs
1 witch
1 cupid
Villagers (depends how many there are playing)
And 1 sheriff (I think, I haven't played it in a long time)
The witch can kill one person and protect one person from getting killed for one round. The cupid can pair up 2 people to be in love, when one partner dies, the other one dies too.
We play it in school whenever we have free time
Your thinking of Town of Salem
This was the plot to a show called traitors
SMOSH plays this game and I love to watch. It is fascinating to watch how different cast members play differently.
I always knew this as Mafia, and at Camp, we would play with the:
Mafia, the killer
The angel, who can save one person
And the milkman, who can give someone milk( it’s pointless)
And it would go for multiple rounds until they voted out the mafia or oh, but (predetermined number) villagers died.
But then I recently discovered a game called One Night werewolf, which has many roles, is run by an app, the werewolf doesn’t kill someone, but instead they have to get the villagers to convince them that the werewolf is someone else.
The point of the milkman is that you know he isn’t the murderer if he gives milk, so almost useless but adds slightly more strategy
In Spain we call la puta (the prostitute) but we keep our eyes open. There IS a killer, a police, a prostitute and rest are civilians. The killer kills winking his eye to a civilian, if he winks at the police he looses, if the police sees him wink he looses too. The civilians do nothing and the prostitute can revive someone by throwing a kiss
Milkman 💀
i think the point of a milkman is that he delivers at night and if a person is mafia he can't be out and killing at that night. So if milkman delivered to someone and no one got killed you know who is mafia
I AM THE MILKMAN, MY MILK IS DELICIOUS
I know it by the name of “Mafia” and it was one of my go-to games when I was teaching musical theatre to kids. We also had a couple other roles including “medic” where they could choose someone to save, and “detective” where they could guess if someone was the werewolf and if they got it right they’d have to convince everyone else who the actual werewolf was during the group meeting without giving away their role. It gets people thinking and problem solving, and specifically gets them paying attention to body language and non verbal clues. I think it’s actually a wonderful lesson in how to read people when they’re lying or withholding info.
In the swiss version someone is the "peaky girl" or "insomniac" and they are allowed to peak. Then theres the hunter who can take someone with themselves when they die, then cupid who can make 2 People fall in love and if one dies then both die, then the witch that can rescue someone on the brink of deatg once and kill someone once. Then theres the "seer" that can check one persons role each night. I also think theres a thief that can switch roles with someone.
YESSS when I was in band back in middle school and high school I would always play this game it was so much fun because half of us would just pick to kill our friends.
You cannot truly “read” people its pseudoscience
Police too, right?
Lol this is just among us with extra steps
I have played this game with friends for a few hundred hours.
By now we usually play with 3-4 wolves and the villagers have a win rate of over 70%.
The discussions for for who to hang usually take over 1 hour.
So a full game takes about 5 hours.
The wolves are only at an advantage when the villagers are hasty. When they take their time to properly assess every single aspect and person, it becomes tremendously difficult for the wolves to not make a mistake and reveal themselves.
My gran would accidentally admit she was a werewolf or open her eyes as a villager if she was the wolf previously😂❤😢😢

Yes, Werewolf (Or Mafia, if you're playing the russian version) came first, but it is definitely "the same" game concept in among us too. Only instead of everyone taking turns there's a visual aid and tasks to do to distract people.
sus
@AndrevusWhitetail no it's not, you are a sped. They have some rules that are the same, doesn't make them the same. Cheese and milk come from cows, are they the same? Use your fxcking brain u mong
You missed the entire point of the game though, whereas in among us you actually have clues that lead you to suss out the impostor here you have nothing and have to rely on uninformed judgement.
They are nothing alike since one is meant to be a thought experiment and the other a game .
The student's name was Dimitry Davidoff, and he invented it as a way of teaching psychology to high school students (who he was teaching at the same time as getting his college education). He originally conceived of it as "Mafia", which is a name it is still widely known by today. It was Andrew Plotkin, an American game designer, who came up with the name Werewolf.
And then later worked into a game called town of salem.
I can see why it's so popular the premise is very intriguing and a poignant and fun way of teaching.
They got some bright thinkers over there in Russia.
I was gonna say isn’t this just town of Salem
And then they saw "the Thing" and the story went to space....
Yeah, I was thinking to myself
... Mafia is the original.

My first thought exactly
thats vice versa.. 100+ werewolves.. maybe 2 good ones..
Or pretty much any flavor of subversive party
It's not my first thought, not even any part of my thoughts. Now that you said it, it's eye-opening O. M. G. truth.
Your mistake is thinking that politicians just started playing this game.
We always called it Murderer, but this game was a summer camp classic.
It's a famous game in Greece too, its called "Palermo" in reference to the Mafia and their shenanigans with the old bill involved too. Great fun🗿🙏
The one thing he failed to mention is the math that has been done subsequently on this game. It turns out in order to have a greater than 50% chance of villagers winning, the number of werewolves needs to be less than the square root of the number of villagers. This gets really mind boggling at large numbers when you consider 101 werewolves have better odds than 10,000 villagers.
It's not mind boggling at all, the 101 werewolves have the advantage of knowing who their teammates are meanwhile the villagers have to assume everyone else is guilty by default... It also doesn't actually work out at that scale, never gonna get 10,000 people to cooperate or sus out the werewolves.
@@DrakeOolawhich is a good argument as for why humanity will fail. The power system gives a group of people control, and the remaining billions are too ill-informed to do anything about it.
I'm pretty sure that maths is kind of flawed. Based on that maths if there's 4 villagers at the start and 2 werewolves, 6 people total. There's a 50% chance of werewolves winning.
There's a lot of games based on this, and I can tell you that in this scenario, werewolves win nearly 100% of the time.
If I had to guess, the maths equation assumes some level of perfect play, which is rarely ever the case.
@@netecrivernetecassassins2945it’s entirely dependent then upon the altruism of the “informed minority”. Which is kind of the whole name of the game when it comes to democracy. Empowering the correct “werewolves” as it were.

You underestimate the common person. It's not that we don't understand what's going on, it's just that we all have shit to do.
I think everyone knows. That’s why political leaders fear monger. They can secure elections by dehumanizing their opponents and in turn the people who support the opposition.
Just had a friend say “okay after this election we should really change this government stuff cause no one is happy about what’s going on”
He fears he has to wait because he’s afraid of his team losing even though he doesn’t support who he’s voting for. Tbh I feel like this will never change. Listen to most Americans. Most if not all say the government needs to improve significantly no matter who they vote for and admit they aren’t happy. It won’t happen till the people are sick enough to actually do something.

There’s also One Night Ultimate: Werewolf. Even Vampire and Alien as expansions. Each player has a role to do during the night phase, except villagers never wake up. The Seer looks at a players card, the troublemaker exchanges cards between two other players, etc. So! You may very well have STARTED as a werewolf, but if there’s a troublemaker or a robber, you may not be that anymore. It’s pretty insane
I love this game
Town of Salem is the same thing with a couple extra roles and bad teams
He’s talking about a simpler version of mafia. I guess that’s why the villagers have information gathering abilities though. Otherwise the mafia would always win.
One night warewolf is very fun though I’ve never tried the expansion
