Bezier Games One Night Ultimate Vampire

This is a great game, really fun and the app makes it easier to run with small numbers.I have always loved Werewolves of Millers Hollow (I even carry a spare travel copy in my camper), but the downside of that version was that players get eliminated each round. This greatly adds the tension but often the game continues for some time, leaving those who were eliminated unable to take part, in effect they become spectators.This style of game is best when participating, even if it is amusing to watch. One Night Werewolf has adapted the concept to fit into one single round for all players, with winners or losers being decided by victory conditions. It is fantastic and really solves the problem of people being left out, especially in larger games.The app is good too as it allows you to play with very small groups without needing a person to run the game. That said the app has a very cheesy voice over which does grate on some players. Consider though that the app is free and you could even in theory play the game without the boxed set at all if you wanted to try it out before you buy..

Purchased to replace a dubious 'Chinese' made version I bought a few months ago (which had various quality issues) this version was sold and dispatched by Amazon so it's a legitimate copy and compliments my other "One Night..." games perfectly.Compared to "Werewolf" and "Daybreak" there are a few additional rules and elements of gameplay which newcomers may feel overcomplicates the gameplay (hence 4 stars) - but if you've ever played the other 2 you'll pick them up in no time and have a great evening of deduction and bluffing!I haven't yet combined this with the "werewolf" versions so have yet to see how complex a game that would be, but played on its own it provides an entertaining enough evening. The iOs/android app does help facilitate gameplay but isn't a necessity as long as someone is familiar with the role order or acts as a moderator.

It arrived in a damaged box - it was crushed on one side. Also, the product has either been wet or exposed to excessive moisture as the box was water damaged, the contents & product smelled of mildew, there were traces of black mould inside the box and the staples that hold the instructions together has rusted.As this was purchased to supplement my copy of "One Night - Ultimate Werewolf" it spoiled a planned games night.Very, very poor.If I could give this no stars I would.UPDATE: I since re-purchased this from another seller - and this copy is clearly counterfeit as the card stock is poor quality and the printing on the cards and tokens is blurred with dull colours and the printing is clearly off-centre. Also, as with a few on the counterfeit copies of this game currently in circulation, the straight edges of the cards are anything but.Come on Amazon, sort this out!

We needed a few travel / small board games for our Lads Reunion Trip to Islay, Scotland (to pass time on ferry, hotel bars and nights in the Storm Pods). This hit the mark 100%.Needs to be played with people you trust wont cheat during the "eyes closed" phases but if confident on that, is very fun and easy to play. Games are quick so is not too bad if something goes wrong or you get a combo that means you are bound to lose. Just eat it, and move on. We all loved it.Big note: there is an App you can download to your phone to take players through the night phase and tells people what to do for each role - the app is excellent and has great music / narration for the instructions, which makes it easy to play and allows everyone to get their bit right without trying to remember everything. A pure bit of genius which added a lot to the game (on the ferry and hotel bars, we kept the volume on the phone low to avoid annoying others, but in the storm pods, we hooked it up to a Bluetooth speaker and the music / voice really made the game so much fun!!).Overall, an excellent game with good quality materials and game play, with each gamer not taking long which makes it fun and "not a grind" to play.Highly recommended (especially for groups of friends who do not get angry with each other and are happy arguing / lying to each other to win a game!)

I have to admit that when you open the box it does look like you have spent nearly £20 on four sheets or cardboard, but once you start playing that is all forgotten. This is such a great and addictive game to play with friends. It is really easy to learn the basics and novices can pick it up after a couple of rounds but it also has enough characters to enable you to add a different twist each time you play. If you like being devious this is the game for you!Each game only lasts five minutes or so but we always end up playing dozens of rounds in one sitting. The quick fire nature also generally means less arguments and animosity than monopoly (you know the feeling when your dad builds a hotel on Mayfair as the game enters its third hour and your brother will only sell you Bond Street for all four stations, your budget hotels on Old Kent Road/Whitechapel and £2000) as each game has different winners and alliances. The free app is also great (although some may find the voices are quite annoying) as it means that you don’t need a narrator and so everyone can play.
