Yeah, I definitely had no idea there were only 2 wolves from the very start. I was working from the assumption that there were more wolves than that, and since we couldn't communicate except with one other person, I figured that the wolves would be able to elect whoever they wanted as leader (with the communication advantage).
I could see pros and cons for picking a fellow wolf as a leader--increased risk of being investigated right off the bat, ability to pick up whatever leader advantages there might be.
PP and nohika threw me off with a lot of things this game. I thought the set up was brilliant!😍
