If you’re dealing with reluctant board gamers, give One Night Ultimate Werewolf a try.
Board games used to be a staple of home entertainment, but the rise of smartphones, video games and streaming services over the past few decades has put the venerable family game night at risk. I know my two teenagers would much rather play Super Smash Bros. than sit around a table rolling dice. But when I’m desperate for nonscreen gaming, there’s one choice that almost always works.
If you’re looking for an offline entertainment option for your family, consider One Night Ultimate Werewolf. Right now you can get it for just $13 on Amazon, or nearly half off its list price of $25.
This social deduction game has a low barrier to entry, and players can contribute as much or as little to the gameplay as they would like. Deliberations in the game can often lead to hilarity, whether the players are 10 years old or 80.
You’ll need at least three players for One Night Ultimate Werewolf, and up to 10 can play easily, although the game works best with six or seven. At the start of the game, each player picks a card from the center and keeps it secret. There are two werewolf cards to choose from, and an assortment of villager cards with different roles like Seer, Robber and Troublemaker.
