One Night vs classic Werewolf

Classic Werewolf is a short campaign. Night after night, the wolves pick someone to kill, the village uses its powers, and players drop out until one side is gone. It rewards a moderator who can pace the room. It also benches anyone who dies in the first ten minutes.

One Night is a single round. There is no nightly kill. A few roles look at cards or swap them, and then everyone — still in the game — reconstructs what happened. The three center cards are the difference you feel at the table. A werewolf can be a card in the middle. A confident Seer can be describing a card the Troublemaker already moved.

Which one to deal

• Choose classic when you have an hour, someone who likes narrating by hand, and a group that is happy to sit out.
• Choose one night when you are standing around a kitchen, everyone has a phone, and you want another round right after the reveal.

Werewolf Night is the second game. The host's phone is the narrator, the night has a fixed order, and the reveal shows the final cards, the center, and what each action did. The rules page is that procedure. It will not teach a multi-night moderator script, because that is a different evening. If you want the card list before you pick a deck, start at roles, then host when the table is ready.
