Curses & Covens is an all-versus-one card game in which three or more friendly towns face off against a witch hunter. One player takes the role of the witch hunter and wins by capturing witches.

The witch hunter tries to keep track of where the cards are and pushes their luck to collect them. The other players are the towns and take the side of the witches. They play a game of bluffing and silent cooperation as they try to outsmart the witch hunter.

How It Plays

The game is played over four phases: the census, the arrival, the journey and the hunt. These repeat until one side has won. The census is the only phase where the town players can communicate freely; communication is limited during the other phases. In the hunt, the witch hunter draws cards blindly from the other players' hands, trying to capture witches and avoid rituals.
