“Really like One Night Ultimate Werewolf I've been a big fan of the werewolf series for a while and I feel like this version is the purest distillation of the game into its absolute Essence”(3:42)
“It's a brilliant game, there's so many layers of strategy and different ways you can mess with your opponent's. I highly recommend it as a fantastic party game.”(13:09)
“For one night, like there's no werewolf killing phase, right, because there's only one night. So that's the best part about - I think that's the biggest advantage it has over vanilla, yes.”
“One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a fantastic party game that is easy to learn and quick to set up. The quick games and exciting gameplay make it suitable for players of all ages and is a great way to bring people together for a fun night.”
“But this one's my favorite, for reasons mentioned. It's the distillation of a bunch of tropes of the genre in their most succinct, condensed form, and it's glorious chaos with just enough balance to reward thoughtful play.”
“It is a game that is accessible it plays in a quick time and it handles a decent variety of player accounts and all for only 8 to 10 bucks again i'm looking at used prices here as well but it is a good game”
“One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a game that requires a play-through to understand. This can initially put people off, but sticking it out yields hours of fun. The best thing about this game is the flexibility.”
“Overall, this is one of my favorite party games. Usually I'll throw it on as the party starts to die down, and we'll just play it until we can't. I like the role combinations, I like the bluffing, and I like the chaotic and frenetic nature of the game.”
“All told, One Night Ultimate Werewolf is an excellent addition to the social deduction game canon. I like it better than its ancestor for reducing player elimination and removing the need for a moderator, and it complements (rather than replaces) the fantastic games already in its category, offering something fresh and new.”
“This is a secret roll game, and I personally love secret roll games because they're very social, you know, there's a lot of talking, a lot of laughing, and in the end, that's my favorite part about board games is just hanging out with my friends.”(0:42)
“One Night Ultimate Werewolf is one of the best social deduction games out there for fans of casual games. It plays so smoothly and so quickly, and will definitely have you coming back for more.”
“Overall, I would give One Night Ultimate Werewolf an 8.5. I really like the game, and, along with the companion app, I think most other groups will enjoy it as well.”
