About the game

Your village is overrun by werewolves in Silver, a fast card game where each numbered card represents how many werewolves a character attracts. Draw from the deck or discard pile, then decide whether to use a card's special power, discard it, or swap it into your face-down village to reduce your werewolf count. Call for a vote when you believe your village has the fewest werewolves, but everyone else gets one last turn to improve their own hand first. Silver combines memory, hand management, and bluffing into a quick, tense card game that can mix with other Silver decks for variety.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team likes Silver as a tense little memory-and-bluffing game that punches above its short playtime. The push-your-luck decision of when to call the vote adds real tension, since anyone can sneak in one last improvement. Its werewolf theme and card-swapping mechanics give it good table energy for a relatively simple ruleset. A nice pick for groups who enjoy quick, socially tense card games.

What we like

  • Quick playtime with meaningful bluffing decisions.
