Salem 1692

“It's refreshing to see a game stand out not with the use of flashy mechanics or weird gimmicks, but with a little bit of grounding in history instead.”

“Every Halloween week I ask my classes if they want to do work or play this game. Of course we play it. THEN we end up playing it the entire week because they just love it so much. I've played it with middle schoolers and high schoolers and it is an absolute blast!”

“We have laughed until we cried at reunions and family game nights playing salem. we have created enemies and strengthened friendships.... Salem is our #1 party game. We love you”

“Salem 1692 is a bluffing, hidden traitor board game that was designed to rile people up while having fun. And it does so very well.”

“We've played at least 350 games of Salem on our lunch hour since 6/2019. In 10/2019, we bought a 2nd game because the first was so used up. … We recently had to freeze and scrape the cards clean cuz they were so overused and dirty.”

“Salem 1692 has simple roles, few rules, and just enough evidence to go on that your accusations are not completely wild-eyed and baseless.”

“One of our pickiest gamers said: "I want to play this immediately again" and he has never said that about anything. … The artwork is beautiful, the box is beautiful and most importantly the game itself is beautiful.”

“It is clever, and my groups have enjoyed our plays. This feels like The Crucible in board game form.”

“I have several friends who hate social deduction, or strategy, or just talking, but they always say your games are the best of the lot. Somehow managing to combine a bunch of different elements and weave it with a theme that gets reminded whenever we're counting down from 20 seconds in the opening to Salem, in sync, like a seance, haha. Thanks for giving us new friends in our group that came back to play your games.”

“My name is Izzy and I'm quite confident that me and my friends are your biggest fans. We own all 5 of the dark cities games and are completely addicted to them! We've taught friends from all around the world how to play, including Argentinians, Brazilians, South Africans, and of course the British.”

“Set during the witch trials, Salem 1692 is a game that's all about exposing the witch in the group.”

“This is the type of game that won't go out of fashion and is perfect for any occasion.”

“It is completely worth the money, and available in stores and online.”

“I work in the video game industry, and designers and I used to spend EVERY lunch break playing Salem. Such a solid and fun game.”

“I am an American Literature teacher at Madison High School in Middletown, Ohio. … Not only was it beautiful, but fun to play. … I plan to use your game in my American Literature class next year.”

“Salem is by far our favorite game out of all that we own (and we have tons)! … Everyone we introduce it to has a great time — from teenagers to my Grandma — and I am currently sending a copy to my brother in law in Germany so that he and his friends can have a great time Witch hunting!”

“I bring it with me when I travel for work to show my colleagues. We normally set up in the hotel lobby and play. I think I have sold 8-10 sets of the game over the years.”

“Salem: 1692 is a fantastic middle ground between the rapid pace of the One Night family of games and the methodical plodding of Ultimate Werewolf and the like.”

“The flavor of the game is superb, mixing more dramatic ideas from The Crucible with things rooted in actual horrors that went on in Salem.”

“The character portraits are especially good, oozing personality without leaning too heavily on stereotypes or misconceptions.”

“Where Salem diverges from other social deduction games is that you become an investigator, making attempts to discern the evidence in front of you that seems to lead to a conclusion that is just out of grasp.”

“If you're looking for a game that can accommodate a large group of players, that is accessible to wide mix of players game experience, and also takes up a small amount of real estate on your ever crowding shelf, Salem 1692 is a worthy addition to your library.”

“I bought Salem specifically to use in my American Literature classroom in conjunction with the reading of "Crucible" with high school juniors. Last night a group stayed after school to play with me and we had a blast.”

“Ever since it has slowly become the gift around Christmas. Everyone in my family now owns it and plays it. So much so, that it has become a running joke to compare other games to Salem when explaining them.”

“After 5 hours of non-stop game play, everyone was hooked. It's one of the best games we've ever found and will be playing for years.”

“I work with at risk youth in classes. … Most social deduction games have a tendency to point fingers and shout accusations loudly and fervently, but Salem has a great way of doing that in a more calm yet suspenseful way.”

“It was a massive HIT in Puerto Rico. New gamers and experienced gamers alike loved it. Salem easily rocketed to my top favorite games and now my party game of choice.”

“A strategic card game where you need to determine which players are (and are not) guilty of being witches.”

“Salem has a couple of cool mechanics that I hadn't seen in other social deduction games.”

“If your group likes social deduction games, Salem will likely be well received.”

“SALEMは、他のプレイヤーとの会話やプレイヤーの雰囲気、そしてカードの使い方などから魔女を予想したり、魔女であることを隠したりするゲームなので、人数が多ければ多いほど楽しげ。”

SALEM is a game where you guess who the witches are — or hide the fact that you are one — from your conversations with the other players, the mood they give off, and the way they use their cards, so the more players there are, the more fun it looks.

“これはかなり心理の駆け引きが必要なゲーム。”

This is a game that demands a considerable amount of psychological gamesmanship.

“Who's the witch!? Is it the pastor? The child beggar? Is it me? Accusations run wild in Kickstarter project SALEM, a strategic card game of deceptive deduction.”

“If you like party games like Mafia, this is a definite 'buy' for you.”

“The game revolves around deception, and the relatively simple style of play combined with the fast pace of the games makes it perfect for casual gamers and parties that are up for several rounds of the same game.”

“Salem, is a deception heavy card game that sets to 'right the wrongs' of Mafia (also known as Werewolf).”

“The abundance allows the game some interesting game space a lot of deception games don't have right now.”

“Salem 1692 is a truly clever take on the social deduction game.”

“Two warty, crooked and elderly thumbs way up — while cackling — for this great game!”
