Band together with a few trusted citizens to build the town of New Salem. You will be a Witch or a Puritan and certain Building types will score points for you. If there is too much Despair in the town by the end of the game, the Witch with the most points will win, otherwise the Puritan with the most points will win. Buildings may score points but also may add Despair to the town. You will vote on which Buildings will be built using your Power and even Puritans will be forced to play Buildings with Despair to selfishly earn points for themselves. The way everyone votes will give you clues as to which team they are on so you will want to watch carefully. When you are Constable, you will be able to trigger powerful Events that will gain information for you, aid your teammates, accuse the opposing team, or generally turn the tide in your favor. It plays 3-8 players in about 30 minutes. —description from the publisher
