The producer of Werewolf: Live contacted The West Australian Boardgame Association which resulted the producer Vivienne and performer Jon rocking up to WABA Thornlie on Saturday. Despite this being one of the quieter meets due to the Australia Day Long Weekend we were able to garner enough interest to have Jon run several sessions. In this game - based on the original card game Mafia, villagers sleep each night, but a werewolf or werewolves are amongst them, so each night someone wakes up dead. It's the villagers, and their hidden Seer that must find and lynch the werewolves (or use traditional werewolf killing methods) before it's too late and the werewolves outnumber the villagers and they run wild.

A mixture of suspense, horror and black humour is made even more atmospheric by props and enthusiasm. Jon, in his cloak (brave fellow, it was a hot Australia Day outside) and surrounded by trappings of mystery and black silk table coverings led us through the story with flair and humour. With his energy and funny patter we were all soon cheerfully either dead or trying not to be so.

There were props galore, and we all got to wear splendid hats. We're going to see the full effect on Thursday night - with the music and lighting, as I am joining the audience at the State Theatre Centre on Thursday night - details here if you want to come join me and Rob.

So what will happen there is that Jon will lead a bunch of professional comedians through the game, joined by one audience member, which should be most amusing to watch! I'll bring back a review of the actual performance, so until Thursday! (or most probably Friday as it's gonna be a late night)

It should certainly be a contrast to A National Park, which we're also seeing that night. There's 4 performances only - the 31st January, and the 1,2, and 3rd of February so check it out.

Thanks to Rob Masters for pointing this out. If I was backing, I'd be looking at this one. I don't think it would quite make the chop for me because it seems we get enough election woowoo in real life but the mechanic of the 'eliminated' players getting to form their own faction is quite appealing. I'm thinking you have to be careful how many people you eliminate when they start looking like they outnumber you.
