This game is so fun! I’ve played with friends and we all loved it. We laughed about the pictures displayed on the cards. A fun strategy game

I bought this board game to supplement the reading of The Crucible. The game has a bit of a learning curve since a few of the instructions aren't very clear. After about fifteen minutes, the game clicked with everyone and my students absolutely loved it and can't wait to play again.

This game is great once you get the hang of it and have 4 or more players. The instruction book could have also been written in a different order to make it easier to understand the rules. But the quality of the game cards and storage is excellent; it's the first thing most people comment on when playing games by this company. The game box being a book is also nice because it can hide in plain sight and doesn't take up a ton of space.

The rules (like all rules) might sounds a little bit confusing at first, but my friends and I just dove into this game headfirst, reading as we went along and it was great. My group of fellow players really like social deduction games in which one player is on the 'secret' team. The only issue with those games is that everyone really eventually wants to BE that special role ... well in this game if you are the Witch character (the special role) there is a mechanic that allows for you to make other players into Witches like you and bring them onto your team.So as the Witch you can play it risky and try to use this 'recruiting' mechanic -- but knowing this mechanic exists also cultivates a sense of paranoia (the fun kind) in all the other players. My friends and I played this maybe 6 times in a row and it got better and better as we started to get a better handle on the mechanics and how to leverage them.And also, this is just with four players, which traditionally is nowhere near enough for a game of 'traditional' werewolf (7+ is best) to work. The final game I ended up losing ... as the remaining 3 players had all become witches. I was the lone holdout in an entire 'town' that had converted to witchcraft, very exciting conclusion.I recommend this game highly, it's got a simple, yet exciting mechanic. I bought this to bring on camping trip later in the year and plan on seeing how well it scales up to more people. The pieces feel high quality and we love the ancient text 'book' that holds the game materials. Very well done.

This game is similar to things like Avalon (Resistance), deception, werewolf etc. We love playing social deduction games. The more players the better. I recommend 6 or more. It's not as good as Avalon but about on par with deception although game play is very different than both. I would say the dialogue amongst players is somewhere between Avalon (loud, raucous, and sometimes yelling) and Deception (more calm, thinky, rationalization, analysis). Draw backs can include being killed early and then you're out of the game so you could be sitting by watching for 20-30 mins. There are ways to mitigate this in the rules though. And it can be quite fun to watch people play from the sidelines when you know if they are a witch or not. There is quite a bit of luck involved with cards drawn, your tryal cards flipped over by other players (basically how many lives you have), and witches killing players in the night. Overall it's a fun game and both groups I've played with (about 8 plays total) wanted to play again then again.If you enjoy social deduction games, then you will like this game. By the end of the game, you will be asking/accusing everyone "Are you a witch?!" or "You're a witch!!". Hats off to the creators of these games.
