> 6. Werewolf. Daytime discussions invariably merge into dinner and then on to organised games of Werewolf to the late hours, hugely increasing camaraderie, intensity, socialization, truth-telling (eventually) and so on. What in the world is Werewolf?

Well, I know one person who's not getting an invite. (To answer your question - no idea. I'm not getting invited either)

A variant of the mafia game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)) Quoting the article: " Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a party game modelling a conflict between an informed minority, the mafia, and an uninformed majority, the innocents. At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: night, during which the mafia may covertly "murder" an innocent, and day, in which surviving players debate the identities of the mafia and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia have been eliminated or until the mafia outnumbers the innocents. " As a game to play with friends that you know well, it's great. But I'd be wary to play with strangers. And another problem is that once you get "killed", you can't say anything, you have to stay silent until the end of the round.

  Yeah, I would definitely nope out of that, then. Especially after a long day of talks; my batteries would be fried.

    Well it depends on who you're playing with. But it's a game that takes little mental load, you play on "easy mode" by not thinking too hard on your actions and just go with the crowd. Also as someone who rarely speak up, I find it easier to do it in such a game.

  While I like Werewolf and also enjoyed it with strangers, it is not for everybody. Just generalize it to board games or team sports or other social activities.
