Werewords review

Werewords is a fantastic game for groups of friends or families who enjoy a good, quick game with a bit of social deduction thrown in. It's a simple concept - guess a word by asking "yes" or "no" questions, but the twist is that one player is a werewolf who knows the word and is working against you!

I really appreciate the simplicity of the rules and the fast-paced gameplay. Each round typically lasts only a few minutes, making it a great option for a quick game or a longer session with multiple rounds.

What I found really fun was the added layer of deception with the werewolf role. It adds a fun element of suspicion and makes you question who you can trust. I also liked the role of the Seer who knows the word and must subtly guide the group. It creates a fun dynamic where players try to discern who is who based on subtle clues.

I do recommend downloading the app, which provides a huge library of words and even allows for custom word lists. The app essentially runs the game for you, providing the word and keeping track of time, so it's very convenient and ensures a smooth playing experience.

Overall, Werewords is a fun, engaging, and accessible game that I highly recommend. It's perfect for a casual game night or a more competitive gathering. If you're looking for a game that's easy to learn, plays quickly, and offers a bit of strategic thinking and social deduction, then Werewords is definitely worth checking out.
