Lobisomem Jogo Board Offline Description
Werewolf is a social deduction game, created by Dimitry Davidoff (in Russian: Дми́трий Давы́дов, transl. Dmitry Davydov) under the name Mafia in 1986. The game generates a conflict between two groups: an informed minority (the werewolves) and an uninformed majority (villagers). At the beginning of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of the two teams. The game alternates between two alternating periods: first, at night, where night characters have the power to kill (eliminate) or convert a chosen player, and second, daytime characters, in which surviving players debate the identities of the players. and vote to eliminate a suspect. The game continues until one of the factions reaches their victory condition: for the villagers, this usually means eliminating the evil minority, while for the minority this usually means achieving numerical parity with the village and eliminating any rival groups.
