You are a member of a small group who is fleeing the Salem Witch Trials to found a new witch-free town called New Salem. Unfortunately, some of you in the group may secretly be a WITCH, so as you build the town, you must gather clues about who may be a witch and put your suspects on trial! You will build buildings in the town, where collecting a set of 3 will form a panorma and earn you extra points, and each building also adds Hope or Despair to the town. You will also choose a Constable, a rotating position, that is in charge of choosing which events are triggered during the game. Be careful, because if the actions you and your fellow founders choose add too much despair to the town, the witch plague from Salem will befall this town as well.
