Werewolf the Game Wiki

a.k.a: The Bodyguard

The Guard is a Villager that chooses another player to defend at night. That player is immune to any attack a night. The Guard can choose themselves, but not the same person twice in a row.

The Guard enhances the Villager team's chances of winning, but the night attacks targets constantly change, so they aren't as effective as they seem. In large games consider using 2 Guards, but disallowing their ability to choose themselves to prevent the Guards becoming invulnerable at night.

The Guard Variations[]

  • The Guard chooses multiple people to protect at night. The larger the game is the more targets the Guard should be able to protect.
  • The Guard is not allowed to protect themselves.
  • The Guard dies in place of their target if their target is attacked.
