Town of Salem is a popular online game that got its start on Kickstarter and now we are bringing murder to your tabletop. Here is how it works. Each player is dealt a card, face down by the moderator. This card tells the player their role. Evil roles are able to kill at night. And the Good roles must find and lynch the Evil-doers. During the day, players accuse each other. The player with the most accusations is put on trial to try to prove their innocence. If you can't convince the town, you are lynched at the gallows. You have to decide who to trust and who to lynch in order to survive. You can also change the roles you play with to make the game more challenging and more fun. With 25 unique roles, every game is a new experience. The game ends when one side remains.
