Beschreibung

You and several of your fellow 17th century citizens have decided to flee Salem, Massachusetts in the midst of the famous Salem Witch Trials to create an opportunity to start anew. You are all committed to eliminating any witch presence in your new town, but you also have your own selfish priorities for how development should be directed. Work to build the new town you envision while keeping New Salem free of the Despair wrought by witches. New Salem is a hidden identity, deduction, drafting, and set collection game for 3-8 players that relies on simultaneous play to provide an extremely engaging social experience in under an hour. Each player receives a character card that determines the building types they will attempt to collect. Puritans must also pool their resources (Hope) to prevent New Salem from being overrun with Despair. New Salem creates an experience where each player is working independently toward the highest score while also working together to prevent the witches from winning. Puritans must find a balance between selfishness and altruism to maximize their score while avoiding accusations of witchcraft. New Salem lends itself well to the preferences and play style of each individual group. While it is important for witches to hide their identity, Puritans can choose whether to aggressively pursue a suspected witch and put them on trial or to attempt to remove Despair that the suspected witch is bringing into the town. Drafting - New Salem uses drafting to allow each player to choose each building that he or she will build. As the game's primary mechanic, drafting creates a system of simultaneous play that allows this game to be finished in under an hour and scale seamlessly between three and eight players. You will never be waiting for your turn. Set Collection - Who doesn't like collecting sets of things? Not only do you collect sets of three buildings of the same type for extra points, but the art on those buildings will also connect to form a beautiful panoramic picture and create a scene that brings the town to life. Deduction - Observing which buildings are and are NOT drafted by other players provides players will serve as evidence that may help you determine which character card is held by each player. Observing and discussing the choices made by other players and the amount of Hope and Despair they are introducing to the town will help the Puritans as they discuss who may be a witch and put them on trial. Social Interaction - There is nothing more important to us in the games that we publish than extremely rich social interaction. You will be paranoid when you play this game. You will be suspected, accused, and you will make a case to defend your actions throughout the game.
