How do the werewolf games work?

Each player is secretly assigned a role - werewolf, villager or seer (a special villager). There is also a moderator who controls the flow of the game.

The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the werewolves secretly choose a villager to kill. Also, the seer (if alive) asks if another player is a werewolf or not. During the day, the killed villager is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining villagers then vote on the player they suspect is a werewolf. That player reveals his role and is eliminated from the game.

Who wins in the werewolf game?

Werewolves win if there are an equal number of villagers and werewolves. Villagers win when they have killed all the werewolves. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment and can accommodate almost any large group of players.
