Werwölfe – Das Spiel von List und Täuschung

In “Werwölfe – Das Spiel von List und Täuschung”, a group of players moves into a remote village deep in the woods, and each is secretly assigned a random role: a few become werewolves who pose as harmless villagers while trying to pick off the others one by one without being exposed. Every glance, every hesitation and every tiny gesture can raise suspicion. The show, which has won the German Entertainment Award, is a tense psychological game of bluffing, manipulation and trust. If you love social deduction games, you'll be asking along with the players: who can you trust when everyone is lying?
