La fabuleuse histoire des Loups-garous de Thiercelieux is a documentary that delves into the origins and evolution of the popular party game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow (Les Loups-garous de Thiercelieux). Created by Philippe Des Pallières and Hervé Marly, the game pits two teams against each other: the Villagers, who must uncover and eliminate the Werewolves, and the Werewolves, who aim to eliminate all the Villagers while staying undetected.
In the documentary, the two creators reflect on their journey in developing the game, recounting its early ideas, challenges, and how it eventually became a phenomenon in the world of board games. Les Loups-garous de Thiercelieux has since expanded beyond its roots as a board game, finding adaptations in cinema, literature, comics, and even TV game shows.
The film also takes viewers behind the scenes of a special adaptation created for Canal+, and features appearances from comedians Fary and Panayotis Pascot, offering insights into the game’s continued influence and popularity in contemporary entertainment.
