Description

NOW CRiT AWARD NOMINATED

"No man may longer doubt the powers of the dark are gathered in monstrous attack up on this village." 

- Arthur Miller. The Crucible.

The Village is in Hysteria. Accusations of Witchcraft are flying every which way and no one is safe from the Gallows. You are hoping to ride out the trials and live your life as normal as possible until things settle down. 

Only one problem:
You are the only real Witch in the Village. You made a deal with the Devil long ago.

You are the evil they seek to extinguish.

A WITCH, A GALLOWS BIRD is a Wretched and Alone game. 
To play you will need:

  • Something to write with 
  • A standard deck of cards (jokers removed)
  • A tumbling block tower (optional)
  • 1d6 (a six sided die)
  • 10 tokens

This game deals with themes of betrayal, fear, isolation, suspense, paranoia, despair, violence, and death.

Please care for yourself first. You can walk away when it's too much and come back later.
