The Ivory Tower token grants protection to the first eliminated player. That player cannot be the first eliminated player in the next game, they will be oh so happy! Additionally, this version comes with a Moderator Scorepad to help moderators track more intricate games with complex roles. Finally, this version comes with a GameTrayz™ organizer to help you sort your cards with room to add expansion cards.

Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme Collector's Edition

Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme Collector’s Edition is a big step up from Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme. It contains a total of 196 role cards, a full 108 more than Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme. The extra 108 extra role cards make up Ultimate Werewolf: Bonus Roles and Ultimate Werewolf: Pro separately.

Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme Super Collector's Edition

Ultimate Werewolf: Extreme Super Collector’s Edition takes the Collector’s Edition and goes deluxe! There are several items that enhance gameplay in the Super Collector’s Edition. First, the Artifacts expansion is included in the Super Collector’s Edition that gives each player an artifact that can change the game, because no one is just a normal Villager anymore when you play with Artifacts. The 4 tokens are no longer cardboard, instead awesome 3D miniatures! Thanks to 25 polarized sleeve inserts you can prevent your neighbors from “accidentally” seeing your role card. Easily one of our teams favorite components are the 25 RIP red slap bracelets that can be given out to eliminated players! Active members of the village can easily see who is still in the game without making eliminated players leave the circle. Super Collector’s Edition also comes with a second, tarot-sized set of all 196 role cards and 25 tarot card envelopes to protect and conceal the cards during play. And finally, the Super Collector’s Edition comes with a Werewolf Warning Sign, so you can mark your den to warn players of all the Ultimate Werewolf fun they are about to have!
