Once upon a little in front of not that long village. Everything is quiet and peaceful, between the birds, the brook gurgles softly and everyone goes after his day's work. Really all? Some people whisper that someone is gone. A werewolf would be the night creeping through the village and would have brought him. How? A werewolf? They do exist but only in fairy tales, right? No! For in the same game of Pegasus we encounter this term expectant companions.

This communication Transportation game by Ted Alspach 5-68 players put out by match officials in the above-said mystical village. Each player gets to start the match a role card and is now in play his character with life and achieve the goals of his group. In game four groups (citizens, werewolves, vampires, Freemasons) and a variety of characters (such as bodyguard, witch, Prince, etc) are included. However, it is the rule, the only part of the various cards in a game. To build a scenario, the variants described in the manual be used or the game manager created itself a set. This is very easy, since each card has a positive ("good") or negative ("bad guys") value. The goal is to make the role cards together so that a sum of 0 and the game is so balanced.

Now if the scenario chosen and distributed the role cards to start playing. The captain gives a "sleep". Ensure that all players close their eyes and listen if they hear any nocturnal activities. Is it quiet in the "village" called the game master, the "Werewolves" on. These have now as quietly as possible to agree on a sacrifice. Then they, too, close his eyes again. Then the game leader can awaken all the players and announce the tragic loss. Now try the "community" the "werewolves" among themselves to find and must agree on a village member who is convicted. Also this player is like the victim from the night game. Following this principle, the game runs until either only "villagers" or "werewolves" are left.

The first sound very monotonous. But the game lives by the interaction of the players. It often happens that the "morning" a "werewolf" as a harmless citizen issues and convincingly claimed to have heard a rustle beside him, thus giving a quick word and the next there is the funniest discussion. However you should make for a round always use the following things:

1. Team captain: he governs and directs the game. He must feel for it, when and what special role should be called or when to intervene in the discussion of the villagers in order to prevent a hopeless wandering. Stands or falls with it the game.

2. Atmosphere: in a slightly darkened room, or even a campfire, the game is of course much athmospheric than in a brightly lit classroom. Even the GM has a big impact again, if he leaves the game purely "technical" but does expire, or through voice and expression, the game experience.

3. Round: they are already at least 10 people needed to be able to play a really interesting turn. In addition, should the players can engage in the game. It would be very boring if the discussion of the villagers no one says anything, or a player that has caught the werewolves, details of which betrays. A little desire to role-play and discipline is required.

If all these conditions are met, there are no more exciting and impressive game in a large group. Meisst it remains even during a round, because everyone would indeed even be the evil werewolf, even if only in fairy tales are .
