    After passing the tutorial, a grand, modified version of Werewolf begins. I've changed the werewolf game to a duel among the twelve apostles of Jesus, one of whom is a follower of Judas. This follower has gained the power of the devil and is hiding among the others. There are twelve people in twelve rooms, with a maximum of six people allowed per room. The follower of Judas cannot instantly kill any of the other followers; it takes about one minute. The follower of Judas can only break into one room each night. During the day, the follower of Judas can survive against two apostles, and at night, against three. For every two apostles Judas kills, he can fight one more apostle simultaneously. At the apostles' dinner each day, before nightfall, at the table, the table is protected by the Holy Grail, preventing Judas from using the devil's power. Each day, the apostles can execute one person who might be Judas at the table. Now, think about it: if you were the team leader, assuming you knew you were a good person, how would you allocate the rooms among the twelve people to avoid a disastrous start?

    I recommend this book, *The Game of Broken Friends*, which I wrote and is already under contract. Twenty friends are locked in a cellar playing a murder mystery game. The protagonist isn't a werewolf, but is part of the werewolf faction. The werewolves are incredibly intelligent, and even the supporting characters are highly intelligent. Although there's a romantic subplot, the plot twists are thrilling, suspenseful, and mind-bending—definitely worth reading.
