THE GAME

Wherewolf is a game whose roots are lost in time, even if they are recent. Teh first apparitions seem to go back to the 50s in England with a popular game called Murder.

The first official rules were written in 1986 by Dimitry Davidoff, a psychology teacher at Moscow University. In those times the game was called Mafia and the setting was that of a villlage in Sicily where the gangsters hid.

The Werewolf theme was instead introduced by Andrew Plotkin,n 1997. Several people contributed to the game development during the years, even if the greatest evolution was due to the internet’s arrival that connected the various gamers communities, and spread the changes and the variations tried along the way.


Over the years several versions of the game have been published (Are You A Werewolf? from Looney Labs, Les Loup,s-garous de Thiercelieux, from Lui-même, Lupus in Tabula, from DaVinci, and Ultimate Werewolf, from Bezier Games, , just to mention a few), ay the changes that the game underwent over the years.


This particular version was designed by Christian Zoli, gamedesigner who met the game in 2001, and started immediately to work on his own version of it.

The target has been that of a game complex but not complicated, well balanced, and interactive for every Role.
