paganfateofroanoke
Pagan: Fate of Roanoke is an expandable deduction card game set in the colonial America of 1587.
The essence of this asymmetrical game is a witch's struggle against a witch hunter. As the witch strives to complete a ritual of renaturation, the hunter tries to discover her true identity among nine villagers. Each turn, the two players use their action pawns on active villagers to draw cards, play cards, and gain influence. Each player has their own variable card deck of fifty cards; with these cards, the witch can brew powerful potions, improve their familiar, and cast enchantments and charms, while the witch hunter enlists allies, claim strategic locations, and ruthlessly investigates the villagers.
As the witch, your objective is to collect enough secrets to perform a ritual so potent that the entire region will fall under your spell and Mother Nature will reclaim the island. As the hunter, you gather all the allies and support you can muster to bring the witch to justice before her fatal ritual comes to fruition.

Game Overview
Two players take on the roles of Witch and Witch Hunter in this asymmetrical card game. The Witch collects secrets to perform a ritual so Mother Nature reclaims the colony. The Witch Hunter gathers allies to bring the Witch to justice.
Game Setup
Shuffle the nine Suspects. The Witch draws the top of the Suspect Deck and secretly looks at it to find out their true identity. Both players shuffle their decks and draw three cards to start. Set each Influence Disc to 2.
Winning The Game
The Witch wins by placing 3 or more Favor Tokens on the villager who represents their true identity and then using the Perform Ritual action. The Witch also wins if the Hunter eliminates 3 innocent villagers.
The Hunter wins by Eliminating the true Witch or by Exonerating the other 8 villagers.
Game Turns
Players take turns as the active player. Witch goes first.
Upkeep Phase
- Return your Action Pawns to your supply.
- Perform any "Start of Upkeep" effects on cards in play.
- Perform any obligatory (must) "during Upkeep" effects as well as any voluntary (may) "during Upkeep" effects in any order you wish.
- HUNTER ONLY: Pay Upkeep for your Allies in play, by paying Influence equal to total Upkeep of all Allies. Discard any Ally you don't pay for.
- Perform any "at end of Upkeep" effects on cards in play.
- If you have more than 7 cards in your hand, discard down to 7.
Action Phase
Perform 3 Actions by placing your Action Pawns, one at a time, on available action spots. There are two main types of actions: (A) Villager Action and (B) Player Board Action.
NOTE: In the first turn of the game the Witch only has 2 regular Action Pawns (bird foot icon) which they must use to visit villagers of the same Faction. In the second turn the Witch can use all 3 Action Pawns.
(A) Visit A Villager: Place an Action Pawn on a ready villager. A villager is only ready if they have no Action Pawns on them.
(B) Player Board Action: Place an Action Pawn on one of the action spots on your player board (same spot can be used more than once) or on a ready Location.
Visiting a Villager
Place an Action Pawn on a ready villager to distribute Secrets for the Witch or Clues for the Hunter and use the villager's skill.
- Trigger Investigation Card if present on your side of the visited villager.
- Convert Secrets (Witch) or Gain Evidence Tokens (Hunter). If you have 3 or more Secrets on the visited villager, you may convert 3 Secrets to 1 Favor up to 2 times. If the villager has at least 3 Clues on it, you gain exactly 1 Evidence. Important: Clues remain on the villager.
- Distribute Assets equal to the value shown on the visited villager, to villagers matching the color shown. The Assets are Clues (Hunter) or Secrets (Witch). If you distribute more than 1 token, you may split them between legal targets as you wish. Brews count as targets for the Witch.
- Use Villager Skill. These are usually to gain Influence, draw card(s) or play card(s). Witch: If villager has at least 2 Favors on it, you may use the villager skill one additional time.
- Familiar Action (Witch). The Witch has 2 regular (bird foot icon) and 1 Familiar (bird head icon) Action Pawns. The Familiar Action Pawn works like the other except that the action may be augmented by a Familiar. You may select one Familiar in play and use its effect to augment the action. You may only use one Familiar during your turn. You may use the Empowered version of the Familiar by paying the resources listed (in the red section).

Cards
You may play cards by visiting a villager with a "play" action or by using a "play" effect of another card or board item.
Cards with a one-time effect (ie: Charms or Events) apply the card effect immediately and then are placed in your discard pile.
When you play a card with a lasting effect, place it on an appropriate spot on your player board. If the spots are full, you must remove a card of the same type to make room for the new card. You cannot voluntarily remove a card of your origin to make room for another card.
Brews and Familiars are placed on the Witch player board.
Allies and Locations go on the Hunter player board.
Enchantments are placed on the Enchantment board.
Investigations are placed on the village board.
