Witch Trial Board Game
Players: 3-7
Playing Time: 90 minutes
Elements: Game Board, 84 cards, rules
You Also Need: One counter, two six-sided dice, money
It is a dark time in American history. Society has
chosen to rid itself of the influence of "witches,"
i.e., unmarried women, free thinkers, vegetarians, the
homeless, and other undesirables.
In Witch Trial, you play an attorney at a prestigious
law firm. You will act as prosecutor or defender in
several cases involving unsavory characters mentioned
above. While witchcraft per se isn't really a crime,
it's customary to bring suspects into court on related
offenses, such as Card Playing, Smoking, and Tampering
with the Post.
There's no burning-at-the-stake in this game, for two
reasons. First, once the case is out of the courtroom
you couldn't really care what happens. But more
important, you don't normally burn witches at the
stake. You press them to death with stones. This game
requires lawyer-like reflexes, a little bit of luck,
and the willingness to plea bargain when you know you
can't win.
