laraberrycross910Yes Great game, as long as you don't take it too seriously. You can add more roles as your kids get older.
Mark99Yes Fun light party game. Also known as Mafia.
spearjr98Yes As much an activity as a game, still LOADS of fun for all. Who are the werewolves? Can you figure it out before it's too late? Even being knocked out early isn't too much of a downside, as you get to watch the story unfold live and be in on who the secret players are.
krishna811Some A solid game that my friends and I played a few times (by the name Mafia ) in our pre-teen years, at sleepover parties. Note: it can get frustrating for younger kids, due to the randomness of the first night's lynching, and potential for injured egos.
Matt Loter88Yes the biggest problem is getting enough kids together to play. Should be fun at a party.
Mike A810Yes I have used this game with Scouts from age 11 to 13 to show the effects of peer pressure. We kept it light, but having to go along with a group to lynch your friend or being lynched when you know that you're innocent leaves quite the impression. All the kids I have played it with enjoyed it a lot and wanted to play more. I would be hesitant to play it with younger kids because they could too easily get their feelings hurt and it would be harder to keep them from speaking out once they are dead.
The Unbeliever810Some Requires large groups to play.
wkusau89Some Kids can play this all night long. Adults will usually beg off after a game or two. Younger kids can play but you have to be careful of tender egos. The negative to the game is that you can be killed off without ever doing anything. Peer pressure and clicks sometimes override sensible play.

SeanXor710Some I have played this game with a groups of all kids (10-13) and when I do this one of them ALWAYS cheats.

fuzzyfife610Yes The problem of being out of the game very early on makes this a game that young players probably should be kept away from. Yes the game is fun but one needs to understand whats happening in the game in order to appreciate it. And one needs to be able to accept the fact that the game could end very quickly for you while your friends continue to play.
