Description

Reign of Witches is a quick and engaging card game for two players that's easy to learn and plays out in just 20 minutes. Designed by Amabel Holland, this 2020 game drops you into the world of factional conflict within the Federalist Party during America's Quasi-War with France. You'll take on the role of either President John Adams or Alexander Hamilton, each with your own strengths and weaknesses, as you navigate the complexities of politics, military might, and public opinion. As you purchase and play cards, you'll need to balance your influence across these three categories, all while dealing with events like plague, tax rebellions, and slanderous pamphleteers. Your goal is to outmaneuver your opponent and even surpass the silent but powerful Thomas Jefferson, who's quietly accumulating power in the background. With its unique blend of hand management, card drafting, and variable player powers, Reign of Witches offers a fun and challenging experience that's full of historical flavor and intrigue.
