With High Stakes, it's time to sharpen your fangs because your free meal pass has been revoked. The villagers have hired vampire hunters to protect them, while hungry werewolves compete with you for the title of the alpha predator.

**Pros**

Events make each game feel different from the last

The new threat system adds a new layer of depth to your planning

The fact that you can hunt with attack power makes the game more flexible

Plenty of new player interaction between the threat system and the ability to attack other players

**Cons**

Increased set-up time

The randomness of events may be offputting to some

High Stakes shifts the flow of the game to be more adversarial, pacifistic players may not enjoy that
