About the game

What is Salem 1692

Accuse and defend your fellow townsfolk as you hunt down the witches of Salem. Act fast, before conspiracy turns you against your own.

The year is 1692, and it is a perilous time to live in the town of Salem, Massachusetts. One wrong step, or one misplaced accusation, and you could be the next witch to hang. "Salem" takes players into this perilous world and lets them re-live the tension, politics, and religious extremism that still has people talking about it 300 years later.

The game is packaged in a faux book box that closes magnetically. The game, disguised as a worn out leather book, can easily hide on your bookshelf and masquerade as an antique.

Players can play as prominent villagers from the old Salem town, and even read their bios in the instruction manual. The servant girl Mary Warren, pastor Samuel Parris, farmer John Proctor, storyteller Tituba, and beggar Sarah Good are some of the 12 characters featured in the game.

Juego de roles ocultos, aunque lo de las brujas que te contagien de "ese modo" me parece algo absurdo.

My favorite party game so far. The goal of uncover the witches makes the game really unique and an interesting one. Every time you miss or the witches turn you makes you keep playing over and over to see what happens next If you have plenty of time you could easily play a couple more plays. What I liked the most is the simplicity. Only cards and no more. So, design is well implemented on this game-book box. Including the fact that everyone loves it. I haven't had a game night where nobody likes it. It's a fixed game where everyone is involved from start to finish and is always aware, not qu
