6. WEREWOLF ONLINE (MAFIA)
Werewolf is nothing but Mafia which is one of the most classic and popular games played all over the world. While it takes time to understand the game and the roles in the app, once understood the game is truly enjoyable.
However, the game has a few drawbacks. The game requires a total of 16 players compulsory. Either you choose to play with strangers or make a group of your own. If your group has lesser than 16 people to play, the app automatically adds new members making the total,16.
