OK, I'll drop this and add another sense to the JMdict 人狼 entry. We can argue over the Mafia/Werewolf issue there. |

I feel that Mafia and Werewolf are two different, if almost identical games. I don't think that anybody playing the game with werewolf-based
roles refers to that game as "Mafia", nor that anybody playing it with mafia-based roles refers to that game as "Werewolf." Also in my (highly
anecdotal) experience, Werewolf is the more popular version - though I was first introduced to it as "Mafia" some 20 years ago, I've only come
across it as "Werewolf" after that.
I agree it's not a single product but more akin to charades. There's a lot of boxed versions of the game with a sea of different names (人狼
SUPER DX from Gentosha, ワンナイト人狼 by a smaller company, コンプレックス人狼 by 株式会社人間, 究極の人狼デラックス by Bezier Games) but all you
really need to play the basic version is pen and paper. |

I don't think it's the sort of thing that belongs in the names dictionary. It's an activity (like charades). It's not played with any equipment.
According to jwiki, it's based on "汝は人狼なりや?" (The Werewolves of Millers Hollow), which *is* a product. |

人狼 is a JMdict entry (2792560). The question really is whether products, games, etc. which are named after things in the main dictionary go here or become a sense there, or both. Do we need to establish a policy? |

I think this is should stay in jmdict. It's a game but not a product. More commonly known as "Mafia" in English. |
