Witch Hunt (2013)

About this game

In an odd little village in a far away place, strange things have been happening. Suspicion and unease have reached a crescendo of wild conjecture and accusations, and Mr Tiddles the cat, once a beloved member of the community, is now seen as an artefact of witchcraft. Just how much does Mrs Hogbottom and her suspiciously hooked nose have to answer for? The game is played over a series of rounds, until at least one player has 5 points. In each round, the Villagers try to find the Witches, and the Witches try to stay hidden. You gain points for finding Witches and by keeping your identity hidden the longest. The game contains the following 18 cards: • 6 Identity cards • 12 Rumour cards You will also need some paper and a pen to keep score.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
