Affliction Salem 1692 - Worker Placement Historical Board Game for Family, and Adults (2-4 Players, Ages 12+) - DPH Games

Step into the chaos and paranoia of Affliction: Salem 1692, a gripping worker placement game set during the infamous witch trials. As hysteria spreads through Salem, whispers of witchcraft mask deeper motives—greed, power, and revenge. You will play as a faction within the town or village, using influence to manipulate key figures, protect allies, and condemn rivals to gain an advantage.

Every move matters as you persuade the Governor to shield individuals, the Magistrate to issue arrests, and the Judge to elevate your standing. The 41 historical colonists featured in the game were real people entangled in the trials, adding authenticity to the experience. Seizing property, inciting accusations, and navigating the bitter tensions between Salem’s town and village are all key to securing victory.

With its unique blend of engine-building and disruption mechanics, Affliction: Salem 1692 creates a dynamic and highly interactive experience. Will you wield your influence to survive the hysteria, or will you fall victim to the chaos?
