Club WerewolvesI would like to buy a club set of were wolves to be kept with the miniatures collection, but I can't afford it on my own. I propose it include some or all of the expansion cards and be kept always available for the club. If this is approved I invite club members to discuss which set to buy online and post links to help the buying process. |

I'm assuming Josh wasn't there on Monday as well as myself. This isn't that likely to happen again.
But if people want to buy another set, that's fine with me. The club owns half my copy anyway, so if I can get the other £4, it can own mine (haven't got the expansion though). |

pfft. That's that idea put to paid then. | ||||
| metagaia |
Doesn't that mean you can just give Teflon Billy £4 for his copy?
I'm not super keen on going for another set of werewolves, eventually you will end up with every regular member of the club getting one at discount price. However, if there are any interesting expansion packs, we could have a look at those. Especially as Halloween approaches.

Come up with a solution and talk to me on Monday.
go on. Talk amongst yourselves. |

just thought i should say that there only appears to be one expansion at the moment as the creators are working on a deluxe edition for the French (as they themselves are French) so unlikely that there will be more any time soon.
Oh and I have been reading the rules again and I made a couple of mistakes regarding the new characters; shall post tomorrow with how each character should be played

We could always just create our own werewolves deck with a pack of playing cards and a marker pen. Is there anywhere that sells blank playing cards (or something similar)? | ||||

Hmm, just over £2 isn't a bad price at all. With a printed copy of the rules (optional) we would have a fully functioning werewolves set at a fraction of the cost! That's my solution anyway.

or we could all learn french? "hargneux nous pouvons tous jouer le jeu de cartes Warewolf et parler couramment le français tout le temps?" |

With the finances in their current state I dont think there would be a problem with us paying out for a new set, either the basic set or expansion. The question is do we actually need it and who will take ownership of it/bring it in.

Non. Je Ne Parle Pas Français

Even cheaper - we print one or a handful of cheat sheets: Ace - werewolf Queen of Hearts - little girl etc. Could even contain rules summaries and we could invent new characters. |
||||
| metagaia |
I had considered that as a possibility. Given that most of us have a handful of cards this could indeed be done for almost nothing. The downside however would be a cost of clarity. While werewolves (Aces) and Villagers (non-picture cards) would be easy enough to identify. It would be harder to pinpoint the more obscure ones (King of clubs as the hunter for example); so if you had to look at the cheatsheet, it would be a giveaway you were a 'specialist' villager. Having a card with 'hunter' written on would be a lot clearer. I can easily bring down a pack of cards and a cheatsheet for next Monday however, to test the idea. |
||||

Well if we limit specialists to Little Girl, Seer, Hunter and Protector we could do: Ace=Werewolf King=Hunter Queen=Little Girl Jack=Protector Other cards=Villager May just be me but that seems easy to remember, though it'd stop us using other specialists like the witch and the village idiot. Alternatively we could rule that everyone has to look at the cheatsheet before we start regardless of whether they know the card. That we specialists who need to check won't have to reveal themselves. |
||||
| metagaia |
It would be the best system as long as we agree to 4 specialist cards or less (we could also use the jokers). I think therefore for games with 10 people or less this would easily be best.
Possible but I believe that kind of rule gets really annoying. Like in competitive bridge where you have to wait a certain amount of time before responding to certain bids. Those kind of arbitary rules begin to make the game feel more tournament like and that really doesn't suit werewolves. |
||||
| Jimmy |
and what would represent the only special that must be played, the seer? |
||||
| Kamikazegerbil |
Oops I did mean to have Joker as Seer in there honest.

| dedindahed |
If going the deck of cards route, why not use a marker pen?
You can have all the easily identifiable roles you like then. |

there speaks a man of logic(ish) | ||||

Really the point of the club paying for half of a game is that it is more or less always there. Its pretty much never happened that we;'ve not had a set but could we just ask that whoever has a set texts me any time they're not gonna make it then I can drive past and pick it up on the way in... | ||||
