Try it once, they'll be hooked
I'll put it simply - The Werewolves of Millers Hollow is one of the best card games I have ever played. The first time I experienced (we just call it Werewolves for sake of simplicity) I was invited over to a friend's house to sit by a fire and drink a couple beers. Perfect summer night. Then one of the hosts pulled out this small red box. Everyone got really excited, though I had no idea what was going on. They told me it's like Heads-Up 7-Up meets Murder Mystery. I was intrigued.... we played for about 4 hours that night. I immediately knew I had to buy this game and take it to my own group of friends.Now the difficult part of this game is getting enough people interested to play. The game calls for 8-18 players for a round (though it gets better with 12 or more people). It can be very tough to suggest a game that nobody has every played, and get that many people on board. For that reason, I didn't get to play for quite a while. Finally, I was adamant about introducing this game to some friends. My only mistake was waiting as long as I did.I have introduced Werewolves to 4 completely separate groups of friends (I have to move, a lot) in which I was the only person who knew what the game actually was. Now, every time we have a get together, it's not only an expectation that I bring Werewolves, I usually get multiple texts reminding me to do so. It has become one a favorite game of many people, including my family. While this game seems like it would be geared towards college-aged kids, you'd be surprised how much the older generations in my family love this game (Grandma probably has more fun than anyone with it!).What's cool about this game is you can make it your own. Every new game is different, and it never seems to get old. One suggestion is to make sure you have a good narrator (someone that is quick to think on their feet, can make up a good story, can keep everyone on track, and it's helpful to have a flair for the dramatic). The instructions give you prompts for a story, but it's much more fun to make up your own, that way the narrator puts their own twist on everything. Generally when you introduce the game, you have to narrate for 5 or so rounds so everyone can get the flow of things, then someone else can take the reins. It's a lot of fun to watch everything unfold from the outside, but it is so much more suspenseful being in the game. One more suggestion; as a narrator, you are going to mess up a couple of times before you get everything right, but the more you play, the more you'll understand the cues of what gives something away and what doesn't.All-in-all, this is an amazing game that keeps everyone engaged and laughing all night. I definitely suggest checking it out. You'll be hooked.

My family made fun of me, initially...
Every year at Christmastime, my rather large family (my parents have 10 kids, plus all the grandchildren) get together at my parents' house to laugh and play board games, and maybe have a couple of cocktails. Our usual game of choice is Trivial Pursuit, as most of us fancy ourselves trivia savants. ;) This year, I thought I would change things up a bit, not that I don't enjoy a good game of Trivial Pursuit, but I just wanted to try something new and see how things went.I brought Apples to Apples (which was also new to us and very well received), Clue (a classic favorite), and The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow. When I pulled out the small box and explained the premise of the game, basically a role-playing game, many a sigh and discouraging comment was thrown my way. I must say, I was also a bit hesitant to even bring the game out, having never played it myself and the term "role-playing" rousing comparisons to games like "Dungeons & Dragons" and "World of Warcraft"...not that those are BAD games, necessarily...but certainly not the type of game that would interest my siblings or my parents.Finally, having heard enough, and after playing about 100 rounds of Apples to Apples, I pulled "Werewolves" out once more. Apparantly after a few drinks my family is a lot more open to try new things...they all said "Well, I guess we could try it and just see how it is. If we don't like it we can always quit." And with that, our Christmas quality family time changed forever... :DTo put it simply, my entire family LOVED this game! No one, perhaps, more than my own mother, age 62. The first round had us all laughing so hard we could barely breathe. And we all found out that my Mom is a bit of a thespian, sending us often into bouts of hysterical laughter throughout the night with her convincingly serious accusations and pleas for her life. We started with 9 players and ended with 12...and even incorporated my 11 year old nephew and my 12 year old son (who strangely seems to be a lycanthrope more often than not!), allowing them to stay up until the very end...it was Christmas vacation after all.I can't say I have ever played a game where we could include the "tweens" and the grandparents in one hilarious grouping. I highly recommend this game to everyone. Guaranteed to be a night filled with theatrics and aching sides. If not, I'd say your group must have a collective stick up the you-know-what.And if you think it was the booze doing all the entertaining, it may have helped, I'll admit, but the next morning my Mama was still raving about the game...so don't let the "role-playing" description turn you off, give it a chance and I almost GUARANTEE you will find it worth every penny! The only down side is that it is only fun if you have a large enough group, which we were fortunate to have...SUPER FUN!!
