Werewolf is a classic, atmospheric party game where players are divided into two teams: the good (Asgardians and Aesir gods) and the evil (werewolves). No one knows who is who. The game consists of several rounds with two phases: night and day. At night, all players close their eyes except for the werewolves, who silently choose a victim. During the day, players can talk and point fingers at each other. Those suspected of being werewolves must defend themselves. Each day leads to a vote on who will be lynched.

Between the two sides stands the Skald, who is both game master and storyteller. It is up to the Skald to manage the game's progress and keep track of the rules. The unique thing about Werewolf is that only the Skald needs to know the rules. The other players can therefore start playing immediately.

Ragnarök occurs if, at any point, there are as many werewolves as Aesir. Ragnarök is prevented if the Aesir manage to execute all werewolves before it's too late.
