Roles Are Dealt
Each player is secretly assigned a role — Wolf or Flock. Only you see your own card.
Night Falls
Wolves wake up and secretly choose a victim. The flock sleeps and sees nothing.
Day Breaks
The victim is revealed. The flock must discuss — who's been acting suspicious?
Vote to Eliminate
Majority vote sends one player home. Their role is revealed — was the flock right?
Who Wins?
Flock wins by finding all wolves. Wolves win by outnumbering the flock. Bluff to survive.

Tips
- • Pay attention to who accuses who — wolves often pile on flock members.
- • As a wolf, don't be too quiet or too loud. Both draw suspicion.
- • Watch for players who change their vote at the last second.
- • A no-vote round benefits the wolves — always try to reach majority.
