Facade Games Salem 1692 Board Game, Witch Hunt Strategy for 4-12 Players | Ages 14 and Up, Social Deduction Game, For Family Game Night, Includes 128 Cards & Gavel Token

Great game! This is one of our go to games during game night. For first time players, it is easy to learn.

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.

Good game and it is fun.

Me encanta el detalle del libro, todos los componentes y cartas de buena calidad, juego fácil de entender y jugar.

The directions are a little confusing until you get into the game but the game was fun and can't wait to play with family and friends more. The more the game is played the easier it will get. I love the twist of more details rather than just werewolf or secret Hitler. Love those games also!

Mejor de lo que imaginaba, está genial este juego

I’ve owned this game for awhile and I finally played it. It’s a social deduction game similar to Mafia and plays well with larger groups. The directions are okay. I suggest looking up gameplay on YouTube. You need a moderator to run the game, but if everyone is playing, I suggest using the direction manual. There is also an APP to help moderate a game, but eventually you should be able to pick up the moderating on your own after a few plays. I love the creativity with the box it comes in. It really fits well in a bookshelf. This game is actually part of a collection of three games. The other games are Deadwood and Tortuga and both are stored in a “book”. My only con about this game is the back of some the cards because the colors are very similar and gathering the cards to shuffle can be a little tedious. I really love some of the mechanics of this game like throwing accusation cards at each other and trying to birth new witches with the Conspiracy card.

Uno dei migliori giochi da tavolo a cui abbia mai giocato! Modalità di gioco super divertente e super strategica. Ti tiene impegnato per un sacco di tempo senza mai però annoiare! Super consigliato!

El plazo de entrega era largo, pero se entregó antes de lo esperado. El juego es muy bueno y tiene mecánicas muy interesantes. Me encanta la estetica que imita un libro.

A friend recommended this game and we love it! It’s similar to the game “mafia” and so much fun! We use the app for the narrator. Highly recommend this game, for big and small groups!

¡Me encanta! Es un juego muy muy divertido que quería desde hace mucho tiempo. El juego tuvo problemas en el envío y lo retuvieron en aduanas, sin embargo, el vendedor me mantuvo al tanto de la situación. 10/10 la atención por parte del vendedor y el juego!!!

Great game, plays up to 8 people which is good for medium to big families. Nice box style to look like a book. Thinking of getting the whole set of games and have it all displayed in a bookcase.
