I'm not sure if this is the right place to say this, but I just saw this really cool card game on Kickstarter. It's called Town of Salem - The Card Game

it is made by an indie company(always love supporting small teams :D) and they have an online game that they are adapting into a card game version. It is a new take on the party games Werewolf and Mafia that is themed in the Salem Witch Trials. It is really awesome looking actually and I have played the online game as well. Just wanted to share something awesome I stumbled upon :)

Here is a link to their Kickstarter if you want to check it out: kck.st/26rtcSL

I like the design of the game, though games like Mafia and Werewolf aren't really my thing.

It does seem pretty much just like Mafia only re themed, though I do find the theme more appealing than Mafia.

Ho hum

Good grief! They've just rethemed Mafia/Werewolf, but in an "imaginative" twist they've left the previous themes there as well. Possibly not a high point in game design, but it looks like it will fund. Though with 163 backers (at the time of writing) backing for a total of $7,434, that means an average of >$45 per backer. For a version of Werewolf!

I guess it must be that they are offering a NSFW version...

Not another Mafia/Werewolf

Check out Ted Alspach "Ultimate Werewolf":

https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/38159/ultimate-werewolf-ultimate...

He was planning to do an "Ultimate Mafia" but the game didn't get much traction on KS.

The game allows for 68 players... Is that enough??? 5 is the minimum...

Many werewolves

There are man commercial versions of Werewolf/Mafia out there, the only differences being slightly different sets of special characters and different artwork.

e.g. Are You a Werewolf? or The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow. Not to mention the various editions of Mafia.

More interestingly there is One Night Ultimate Werewolf, which changes the dynamic entirely, but even that is based on One Night Werewolf.
