Blood on the clocktower and Werewolf are social deduction games that require deception and critical thinking. In the games we must analyze each others behavior and watch what secrets we let out. In both games the players take on secret roles which are supposed to stay hidden from everyone around you. There are two teams the good and evil team and the goal is to try and vote the bad team out. Communication is key when it comes to both these games since the goal is to deceive other players or prove your innocence so you don’t get voted out. In both games improvisation and manipulation are key to get things to go in the way that you want them to.

These two games are very similar but they have some major differences that completely change the flow of the game. In Werewolf once a player has been eliminated they are forced to sit and watch the rest of the game play out without any input on how the game should play out. Blood on the clocktower allows the player to continue to engage with players as well as have one vote that they can use at any point. There is also a storyteller in BOTC which doesn’t appear at all in Werewolf. To me I think this makes it far more fun and harder for players to be able to trust all the information given. Lastly werewolf has a wide range of abilities but many people are just villagers that don’t have any special activities they can use. In blood on the clocktower though everyone has a role that they can use and this makes it more fun to trade and share information with each other,

I personally enjoyed Blood on the Clocktower more than Werewolf since it offered far more complexity. It also made it easier for people to trade info since you do by choosing someone to talk to. I also enjoyed how many roles there are that offer players more options to find out information and feel like they have an important role. I personally would also love to be the story teller at some point for it because it sounds fun to put a game together that tricks and confuses people.
