Affliction Salem (2nd Edition)

Use your inflence to affect the history of the Salem witch-hunt.

The hysteria over witches among the people of Salem swept the region like a disease in 1692. As is the case in any tragic event, there are those whom will use the circumstances to their advantage. Under the veil of the witch-hunt lie other motivations; power, greed, revenge and righteousness.

AFFLICTION: Salem 1692 is a game set in the hysteria of a witch-hunt. Use your influence to whisper in the ear of the magistrate, judge, governor or minister to protect some and have others arrested. Salem was a chance to gain property, exact revenge and prove one’s righteousness.

The characters in the game were actual residents of the Salem region. This is the closest possible simulation of actual events in a game to date.

In the second edition, you will find:

Modified starting characters and increased the number to eight. Each player is now dealt two and chooses one. With more afflicted girls as starting characters, the game feels even more authentic.
Simplified two of the character's abilities.
Improved the accusation ability of Rev. Paris
Increased circle defense
