This week’s game was Ultimate Werewolf. This is a game where everyone is a different character (for the most part). There was some werewolves who want to kill everyone except themselves, while everyone is trying to hunt them down. Throughout the game, people are being killed, hung, and interrogated in order to figure out who everyone is. The hardest part of this game was being a villager in the first game. Out of the twenty people or so playing, there were roughly four people that have no power or special ability. Those characters are the villagers. I did not like this because I had to way to determine who anyone was except by listening and determining on my own who people were.

The leadership skills in this game are unique. The werewolves have to kill everyone, but they can’t talk much strategy or they will be discovered as the werewolves. Everyone else has to determine who the werewolves are solely by their unique ability and interrogating who everyone is. The importance of this game revolves around trusting individuals off the information they give you and building relationships that will last until the end of the game. These are important traits that a leader needs. In addition, persuasion and convey why you are “good” is important in this game as well as a leader. It is especially important in the game when people are voting to hang people. Conveying a message to everyone so they will vote with you is important in order to win because you need a majority of people to vote on who to hang.

Someone that would like this game is my friend, Dylan. He really enjoys the game Mafia and this game is very similar. Ultimate Werewolf provides more unique cards that Dylan would like. He loves interrogating people and would love to figure out who everyone is. The unique cards would allow him to implement more strategy in the game, which he would love.
