ENGLAND BOND OVER WEREWOLF

For a nation that has frequently flattered to deceive at major tournaments, a card game that relies on the art of deception is strengthening the bond among England’s players. Werewolf, a game of role play and deduction, has become a popular pastime for the squad. “It’s about being the best liar,” said midfielder Declan Rice. “The villagers have got to snuff out the wolves and the wolves have got to lie and tell everyone why they are not a wolf. There is a lot of teamwork, ganging up.” Whatever England are doing at their base in Qatar, it’s working so far.
