Pagan: The Fate of Roanoke

One of you is a witch. The other is quite sure about it, which is not the same thing.

Colonial America, 1587, and the Roanoke colony is about to disappear from history. Kasper Kjaer Christiansen and Kare Storgaard turn that into a two-player duel of accusation and concealment: one player is the Witch Hunter, one is the Witch, and the Hunter has to work out which villagers are actually complicit before the colony is lost.

It is a deduction game played through cards rather than conversation, which means the Witch has to actively build a false picture rather than simply keep quiet. Every villager played is information, and the Witch's problem is that they need those villagers too. Capstone publish it and it is expandable, so the card pool grows if the pair of you get into it.

Perfect for: Two people who like their deduction games genuinely adversarial rather than politely co-operative.
