Generate Ultimate Werewolf decks, scan players and their cards, and run Ultimate Werewolf games easier than ever! Card scanning requires either Ultimate Werewolf (4th edition) or Ultimate Werewolf Extreme (including the Kickstarter version), and also supports Ultimate Werewolf Bonus Roles and Ultimate Werewolf Pro. If you cannot scan your cards (or don't want to!), you can use the new "Quick Play" option from the deck builder! Just arrange the cards according to the app, deal them out to players, and play! Build custom Ultimate Werewolf card decks with various deck attributes, such as the number of players, village/werewolf balance, length of game, moderator difficulty, role information, and specific roles. Save those decks in the app for future reference. Deal those cards to players, and then quickly scan the backs of the cards, the names of the players, and the faces of the players themselves into the app. Start the game, and the app will walk you through each day and night phase, including waking up each role at night, marking players who have been targeted by werewolves, eliminating players, and all kinds of other special abilities. There's also a fully functional timer included, so you can time your game days (and nights, and even the accused's defense!) to ensure your games move along quickly. Please report any issues and/or feature requests to feedback@beziergames.com.
