## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the differences between Salem 1692 and the 1st Edition?**
A: Salem 1692 uses Kill Cards and a wooden gavel token instead of the plastic Kill and Save tokens, the sand timer has black sand instead of white sand, the book box is bigger and has stronger magnets, and there are a few minor character balance issues and design tweaks. Gameplay and the overall look of the game is the same.

**Q: How close is this game to to the real “known” facts?**
A: The characters are all named and drawn for real people from the historical town of Salem. There are also biographies in the rulebook and a brief history of the town. The game play is meant to simulate the overall atmosphere of distrust, accusations, and unfair trials. But there isn't a timeline of real events or specific details like that during game play.

**Q: How do you “confess”?  i know you confess after night. do you show a card? The rules skip around a lot but I think we finally got the rest.**
A: After night and after the witches choose a player to kill, they should have placed the card of the  player they wanted to kill face down, and after the constable if still alive has chosen who to save, the players open their eyes. If the constable didnt save them, then they chose a tryal card of their own and flip it to confess. Then when the card of the player who the wiches chose to kill is revealed, if that player had confessed, they are not killed

**Q: Can someone give me a short explanation on how to play? The instructions are pretty long.**
A: Each person is dealt 5 cards that are kept secret that are "Witch", "Constable", or "Not a Witch". You each have a hand of cards that can accuse others of being a witch or have helpful or negative effects on other players. Once a player has had enough accusations played on them they must flip over one of their five cards to reveal the role on it. The Witch's goal is to kill everyone else is not a witch. Everyone else's goal is to kill the witches. It's my group's favorite social deduction game 100%.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by I***A on June 3, 2018*

I love this game.Of all the "Mafia" and "Werewolf" style games, this one is my absolute favorite of the bunch, and the one I keep pulling out on game nights.Salem fixes the issues plaguing most of the "social deduction" games. For most games of this style, players have minimal actions they can actually take, hobbling strategy; the way clues and data are gathered is extremely limited, sometimes relegated to people saying if they're innocent or not; games last under 10 minutes; and deciding who to kill devolves into a loud, messy argument that drags out into a really boring shouting match.Salem's unique game mechanics resolve these.During the normal play phase, which last several rounds between Night phases, players must use cards to lay curses, accusations, and offer assistance to their fellow players, increasing the interaction and forcing them to create alliances and make enemies since no one is allowed to play cards on themselves. As accusation cards build up against a player, they must undergo Tryals, flipping over one of their 5 reveal cards to see if they confess to witchcraft. Rather than 1 reveal card like in most games, each player can undergo 5 Tryals before dying of the torture, and only one of which may be the Witch. This extends the gameplay time and leads to additional information as you wonder if someone with 1 or 2 Tryals left is still a Witch, just with good luck, or if you got it wrong and they're innocent.Each player's character is a true, historical person involved in the Salem Witch Trials, and each has a unique ability or skill they can use during play, again increasing what you're able to do in the game.After each Night phase, but before it's revealed who the Witches killed, players have the chance to confess and sacrifice a Tryal card if they think they were the one chosen, saving themselves and allowing them to stay in the game just a little bit longer.Pros:Production quality is good. The little book storage box is charming and larger than the first edition, making it easier to fit everything. Some small kinks in the first edition are smoothed out and resolved in this one. The game is suitable for very large groups (up to 12), lasts in the 20-30 minute range, is very replayable, and allows for strategy.Cons:Because the box looks like a book, I keep losing it. The instructions are more complicated than the average social deduction game, and it may take a little longer to explain gameplay. The instruction booklet is not the clearest. It does need a lot of players, and is less fun and functional with with minimum number of people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a great game!
*by C***S on April 14, 2019*

This game is great. I'm not a big game person or one who enjoys spending an hour plus learning a new game, but this one was too much fun.I would say this game has a steep learning curve with a quick drop-off. It takes a little time to learn and then two games in you're tossing accusations and trying to prove your innocence. I like the added ability for the witches side to spread. The art and quality of the pieces art great.**The only thing I would really like (and this goes for most games), I would love if these games had videos online that explained the rules and showed a playthrough. I had to watch a couple independent videos to get the rules down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "SHE'S A WITCH" - A Christmas Party Hit
*by P***0 on January 13, 2019*

I am a board game enthusiast and I purchased this game thinking, "Well, maybe my girlfriend's sister-in-law might like this and if I can get her on my side then maybe some other family members will want to play a game or two with me over Christmas." BOY WAS I WRONG. After the first game there was nothing but yelling, screaming, betrayal, and resounding cries of, "SHE'S A WITCH!!!" It was such a hit that everyone in the family elected to play this game in lieu of their family's go to favorites. I can't believe I found such a great game for a great price. I am very thankful for Facade Games for this unique experience.My Advice: Play with as a moderator your first game and study the rules. During the Dawn and Night phases - play some spooky music on a phone and move the phone around players heads. Walk around the room to throw players off. We also played in the dark with candles light. I hope everyone who purchases this has as much of a blast as my group of 8 did. One more thing, don't forget that, "SHE'S A WITCH!!!!"
