What to Expect
You manage a village made of face-down cards, each showing how many werewolves that character attracts. You draw and discard cards, trigger character abilities, and may swap your face-down cards at risk of penalties if wrong. Play proceeds until a player calls for a vote, after which others get one more chance to save their village. The game mixes classic card play with team rules and a personal Silver Fang token.
Who Is This Game For?
Silver Fang is aimed at experienced card players and groups who enjoy tactical hand-management; recommended age is 15+. For 2–4 players it fits short to medium game sessions (about 60 minutes). Familiarity with hand-management mechanics helps assess risks when revealing or swapping cards.
How It Works
Players start with face-down cards, some of which may be looked at; card numbers indicate werewolf weight and unlock unique powers. On your turn you draw from the deck or discard and may play the drawn card's power, discard it, or replace one or more of your face-down cards—replacing multiple cards requires those cards to share the same number and be revealed to prove it. A personal Silver Fang token creates a private discard area accessible only to the token owner. Core mechanics: Hand Management and Team-Based Game.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Ted Alspach. Silver Fang adds team rules to a traditional card formula and introduces a personal Silver Fang token that enables private plays and teammate interaction. It belongs to the Silver family and can be used standalone or within the Silver series framework.
