A midnight bell tolls on the streets of Wildegrens as the
villagers shutter their windows against the darkness.
Something moves through the night–in the forest, through
the fields, across the old battlefield. The isolated village is
in danger. Crops are failing, animals are dying, and villagers
are disappearing. Townsfolk are scared. Some of the women
are fighting back but the villagers suspect that these women
may be dealing with the devil himself. From behind the old
school a shadow crosses to the town well. A feeble light
reveals two witches who nod to one another, shutter the
lantern, and make their way towards the dark woods.

Witchcraft! is set in a fantasy world that was inspired by 17th and 18th century Europe and North
America. Wildegrens is not a real location and players will recognize the villains and minions from
the folklore of many different cultures–we took the liberty of bringing these together in a single place.
In many cases the villains have different names in different cultures, and we chose this collection of
villains to capture the historic fears of that time period: fear of the unknown, fear of privation, and
fear of illness.
Our game world presents witches as forces of good that wield real magic. In reality the witch trials
that swept Europe and North America were motivated by malice and ignorance resulting in the
execution of tens-of-thousands of people, the vast majority of whom were women. In showcasing
powerful women striving to protect their village, we as game designers hope to
honor the memory of those who were persecuted. We do not intend to trivialize or
rationalize the immense pain and suffering caused by the witch-hunts in early
modern European and North American history.

Lead a coven of witches in their fight against the evils threatening Wildegrens. Over a series of rounds,
you will undertake increasingly difficult missions. If you succeed, you will gain the persuasion you need to
convince the village that magic can be a force of good. If you fail, you may lose the game. At the end of each
round, you must choose to risk another mission or go to trial, hoping your persuasion over the jurors
is enough.
This book describes the rules for the standard game. See the Tales of Wildegrens book for

WITCHES
The Witch cards in your Coven deck, discard pile, hand, and play area are the active members of your
coven. You will cycle through these cards as you play the game. When you reveal a Witch by using their
magic, you will need to place them in the Jail pile. Witches in the Jail pile and the Recruit deck are not
normally available to you, but can be added to your coven through special actions and effects. When a card
tells you to recruit a Witch, draw the top card from the Recruit deck and place it into your Coven discard
pile. When a card tells you to lose a Witch, place the indicated Witch card back in the box.
CURSES
Curses represent evil magic working against you. These cards are unusable and serve only to clutter up
your Coven deck and hand as you draw and discard them. Some actions and effects allow you to remove a
Curse from your hand and place it in the Curse pile. In contrast, if a card tells you to gain a Curse, take a
card from the Curse pile and place it into your Coven discard pile.
MISSIONS
Missions are the locations and situations that your Witches must encounter to protect Wildegrens and win
the game. Each round you will choose a Mission from the display. If you overcome the Mission, you will
gain some benefits and reveal a new Mission. If you fail to overcome it, you will not reveal a new mission.
CHALLENGES
Challenges provide additional threats and opportunities which you will uncover (flip face up) when you
choose a Mission. Certain actions and effects may allow you to uncover them sooner.
FAMILIARS
Familiars are magical animals which can join your coven and help you win the game. They begin as
Challenge cards but can be captured and placed into your play area. Captured Familiars provide you with
the benefit indicated in the Familiar effect section of their card.
If the Curse pile is empty when you are told to gain a Curse, you immediately lose the game.
If at the end of the round you draw a new hand with no Witches, you immediately lose the game.
If you fail two Missions, you immediately lose the game.

JURORS, PERSUASION AND CONVICTION
The Jurors in the display are the key members of the village that you need to convince during the trial in
order to win the game. Each time you overcome a Mission, you will gain persuasion over one of the Jurors,
moving the marker up their persuasion track. You can also gain and lose persuasion through other actions
and effects in the game. To convince a Juror, your persuasion must reach or exceed their conviction, the
total of the values on their Conviction cards. You will uncover (flip face up) these Conviction cards during
the trial. Certain actions and effects may allow you to uncover them sooner.
VILLAGERS
The Villager cards represent the people of Wildegrens that you are trying to protect. When you are
instructed to lose a Villagers card, draw a card from the Villagers deck. If you draw the 0 card, shuffle it
back into the Villagers deck. You don’t lose any villagers. Otherwise, place the card face up into the Lost
Souls pile.
If the total number of villagers on the cards in the Lost Souls pile is 5 or greater, you
immediately lose the game.

The game is played over a series of rounds. Each round is divided into 6 phases. Perform each phase in the
order indicated below.
The game continues until either you go to trial or you trigger one of the game’s loss conditions. See Ending
the Game on page 15.
There are two opportunities to play the Witches from your hand each round, during Phase 1 and
Phase 3. You must play all these cards, including any additional cards drawn from special actions and
effects. You may not choose to discard Witches or keep them in your hand for future rounds. You may
never play the Curses from your hand.
When you play a Witch, you must choose to reveal them or to keep them hidden. Witches are
more powerful when revealed but must be placed in Jail at the end of the round (Phase 6). Witches
which are hidden remain in your coven to use in future rounds. To record your choice, place revealed
Witches to the right of your play area and hidden Witches to the left. See the Setup diagram above.
After making this choice, you may perform the action indicated on the appropriate side of the Witch
card. You are never required to perform the action. If the action has a requirement, you must meet
it. If the action allows you to perform an effect multiple times, you can choose to do it less than the
number specified.
As an example, consider Katherine Kent’s hidden action:
“For each Kent (including Katherine) in play, discard one Curse from your
hand to the Coven discard pile then draw a card from the Coven deck to
replace it.“
Assuming you have 2 Kent Witches in play (Katherine and one other), you
may discard only 1 Curse and draw 1 replacement card (or no Curses and no replacements). You may
not draw more replacement cards than the number of Curses you discarded.

There are four types of effects on Missions and their Challenges:
· CHOSEN effects trigger when you choose the Mission (Phase 2).
· NOT CHOSEN effects trigger when you choose another Mission (Phase 2).
· SUCCESS
effects trigger if you overcome the card (Phase 4).
· FAILURE
effects trigger if you fail to overcome the card (Phase 4).
and
effects on a card do not trigger if the card is discarded or removed from the game in
any other way.
Cards may have multiple effects of different types. For example, the Possessed Challenge cards have
a
and a
effect. The
effect will trigger if the card is overcome. If it is not, the
effect
will trigger.
If multiple effects of the same type trigger at the same time, you choose the order in which they
resolve.
Additional details about Mission and Challenge effects can be found in the Frequently Asked
Question section at the end of the rules.
1. PLAY WITCHES
Play any number of Witches from your hand, resolving them one by one. See Playing Witches above.
2. CHOOSE MISSION
Choose one of the Missions in the face-up display then do the following:
· Resolve any effects on Missions in the display which you
did not choose.
· Uncover (flip face up) all Challenges at the chosen Mission.
· Resolve any effects on the chosen Mission and its Challenges.

Mission and Challenge Effects

4
3. PLAY REMAINING WITCHES
Play the remaining Witch cards from your hand, resolving them one by one. See Playing Witches above.
4. RESOLVE MISSION
This phase is broken into four steps.
A) DETERMINE AVAILABLE POWER
Total the power on all the Witches you’ve played this round and add it to any power produced by effects on
Familiars in your play area. Use the revealed power for revealed Witches and the hidden power for hidden
Witches. If the power includes a ‘
*
’, increase the value as indicated in the appropriate text box on the card.

B) OVERCOME CHALLENGES
Use your available power to overcome Challenges
at the chosen Mission. Resolve Challenges one at a
time, in any order you choose. You may choose to stop
overcoming Challenges at any time, particularly if you
want to overcome the Mission in the next step. You
must stop if you don’t have enough power available to
overcome any more Challenges.
Remember! You must play all the Witch cards in your hand each round, including any
additional cards drawn from actions and effects.
Important! In the next two steps, you will use your available power to overcome Challenges
(step B) and/or the chosen Mission (step C). You often won’t have enough power to overcome
all of these cards so you will have to choose which are the most important.
12

---

5
To overcome a Challenge, perform the following steps:
· Reduce your available power by an amount equal to the Challenge’s difficulty.
· If the Challenge is a Familiar, place it in your play area. Otherwise, place it into the Challenge
discard pile.
· Stop applying any effects on the card.
· Resolve any
effects on the card.
· Check all Witches and Familiars in play (particularly those with a ‘
*
’) to see if their power changes.
Adjust your available power accordingly.
C) OVERCOME THE MISSION
If your remaining available power is equal to or greater than the chosen Mission’s difficulty, you have
overcome it.
· Resolve any
effects on the card.
· Gain persuasion over one Juror of your choice, tracking this change change with their Persuasion
marker. If you choose the linked Juror, use the higher persuasion value indicated on the Mission card.
If you choose another Juror, use the lower value.
· Place the Mission card back in the box.
Any remaining available power is lost. You may not save it for the next round.
D) SUFFER THE AFTERMATH
If you failed to overcome any Challenge cards on the chosen Mission, resolve any
effects on these
cards and then place them face up in the Challenge discard pile.
If you failed to overcome the chosen Mission itself, resolve any
effects on it and then flip it face down.
You will have one less Mission to choose from for the remainder of the game.
Remember! You immediately lose the game if any of the following occur:
· You fail 2 Missions.
· The total number of villagers on the cards in the Lost Souls pile is 5 or greater.
· You are told to gain a Curse when the Curse pile is empty.
13

---

4
5. GO TO TRIAL?
You must now decide if you want to continue taking on Missions or go to trial. If there are no Missions left
in the display, you must go to trial.
· If you choose to continue taking on Missions, move on to the next phase (Recover).
· If you go to trial, see Ending the Game on page 15.
6. RECOVER
Place the Witches in your play area face up into the appropriate pile. Place revealed Witches into the Jail
pile. Place hidden Witches into the Coven discard pile. Keep any Familiars.
Place any Curse cards in your hand into the Coven discard pile.
Draw a new hand of 5 cards from the Coven deck. If the deck is empty and you need to draw a card, shuffle
the Coven discard pile to form a new Coven deck and continue drawing. If the Coven discard pile is also
empty, do not draw a card. It is possible that in later rounds your coven will be so small that you will not be
able to draw a hand of 5 cards.
If you overcame the chosen Mission this round, draw the top card from
the Mission deck and place it face up into the gap left in the display.
If there are no cards left in the Mission deck, skip this step. Draw a
number of cards from the Challenge deck equal to the new Mission’s
challenge value and place these cards face down next to it. If there
are no cards left in the Challenge deck, shuffle the Challenge discard
pile to form a new deck.
Now begin a new round.

Be careful! If you choose to continue, you may overcome the next Mission and further
persuade the Jurors, but you may instead lose the game. At some point, you will need to go
to trial if you want to win!
Remember! If you ever draw a new hand with no Witches during
this phase, you immediately lose the game.

The game can end in several ways.
· You fail 2 Missions.
· The total number of villagers on the cards in the Lost Souls pile is 5 or greater.
· You are told to gain a Curse when the Curse pile is empty.
· You drew a new hand with no Witches during Phase 6 (Recover).
· A card effect tells you that you have lost.
Otherwise, the game ends in a trial. This happens if you choose to go to trial during Phase 5 or a card effect
tells you to go to trial.
To resolve the trial, consider each Juror in the display one at a time. Uncover all Conviction cards on the
Juror and total the values; then compare that total with the value indicated by the position of the persua-
sion marker on the Juror’s track.
· If the Juror’s conviction is less than or equal to the persuasion, you have succeeded in
convincing them.
· If the Juror’s conviction is greater than the persuasion, you have failed to convince them.
Now look up the number of convinced Jurors in the table below to determine your result.
Convinced
Jurors
Three
Two
One
None
Results
Innocent (Victory): Your victory over the threats to the village convinces all
the jurors of your righteousness. Your coven has been welcomed into the village.
Not Guilty (Draw): Your valiant efforts against the threats to the village
convince two of the jurors to reluctantly rule in your favor. The witches have been
released from jail, but you all are still considered outcasts within the community.
Guilty (Minor Loss): Despite your efforts, you are only able to convince one
juror to support your coven. The witch hunts continue, and your entire coven is
imprisoned. Who will stop the supernatural threat now?
Evil Reigns (Major Loss): Your coven is unable to stop the supernatural
threats from sweeping over the village.

This is an example of playing the first round in a game of Witchcraft!
You begin with a hand of five cards drawn from the Coven deck.
1. PLAY WITCHES
You start the round by playing as many Witch cards from your hand as
you’d like. You play Katherine Kent first, deciding to keep her hidden.
You place her card on the left side of your play area, to keep her separate
from the Witches that you might reveal later. You use Katherine’s hidden
action to discard the Curse card in your hand, replacing it with the top
card from your Coven deck. You’d hoped to draw a Witch, and expand
your options, but unfortunately you draw another Curse!
You now play Phyllis Tancred, again keeping her hidden. You use her
action to uncover one of the Challenges at the Protect our Children at the
School Mission. It’s a terrifying Wolf! You decide not to play either of the
two Witches left in your hand until after you’ve chosen your Mission.
2. CHOOSE MISSION
You decide not to Protect our Children at the School. The Wolf that Phyllis
uncovered there looks too difficult. You choose to Save the Village Grain
Supply instead. You first check the other Missions for effects–there
aren’t any–then uncover all 4 of the Challenge cards at the Village
Grain Supply.
16
. Sample Round .

3. PLAY REMAINING WITCHES
You now need to play the last two Witches in your hand. You play Gwen Hayes first, keeping her hidden.
Her hidden action checks the number of Hayes Witches in play. There’s only one, her. You use this action
to discard the Cursed Chickens, hoping to find something easier to deal with. You’re in luck! You flip over a
Wild Boar, a far less menacing Challenge.
You now play Charlotte Kent, your final Witch. Given the difficulty of the Mission and its Challenges, you
decide to reveal her, placing her to the right of your play area. She doesn’t have a revealed action, but she
does have a whopping 4 power which will certainly help in the next phase.
There aren’t any
effects on the Mission
itself, but there is on the
Whip-poor-will. You’ll
have to deal with this
later in the round.
HIDDEN REVEALED!

4. RESOLVE THE MISSION
It’s now time to resolve your chosen Mission and its Challenges. You start by adding up your available
power. Your hidden Witches give you 4 – 2 from Phyllis and 1 from each of Katherine and Gwen. Charlotte,
who you revealed, gives you an additional 4. That’s a total of 8 power.
You know you want to overcome the Mission. It has a difficulty of 5. That leaves you with 3 power leftover
to overcome Challenges. Unfortunately the Whip-poor-will’s effect blocks you from overcoming other
challenges so you need to deal with it first. You spend 1 of your available power, then place the Whip-poor-
will in the Challenges discard pile. That leaves you with 2 power, enough to overcome either the Wild Boar
or the Witch Elder. You’d prefer to save the Witches you have rather than gain a new unknown Witch from
the Recruit pile. You spend 2 more power and place the Wild Boar into the Challenge discard pile.
18

5. GO TO TRIAL?
Things are going well. You haven’t failed any Missions or lost any Villagers, and there are still plenty of
Witches left in your Coven deck and Curses left in the Curse pile. You decide to press on rather than ending
the game and going to trial.
6. RECOVER
The round ends with the Recover phase. You place your revealed Witch (Charlotte) into the Jail pile. You
place your hidden Witches (Phyllis, Katherine and Gwen) into the Coven discard pile, along with the Curse
in your hand. You draw a new hand of 6 cards from the Coven deck – the 5 normal cards, plus 1 more from
the
effect on the Mission you just overcame. The hand contains Witches, so you perform the final step.
You draw a new card from the Mission deck and place it face up in the gap left in the display, adding the
appropriate number of face-down cards from the Challenge deck. It’s now time to start the second round!
the game and going to trial.
Using the 5 power that you have saved, you overcome the Mission. First, its
effect triggers, meaning
you’ll draw an extra card at the end of the round. Second, you gain persuasion over one of the Jurors. You
choose to gain 2 persuasion over Linn (the linked Juror), rather than 1 persuasion over another Juror. You
move the token on Linn’s track 2 spaces forward. Finally, you put the Mission card back in the box.
You now have to deal with any nasty consequences of failing to overcome cards. You overcame the
Mission, but unfortunately not the Evil Witch. Her
effect triggers. You take a card from the Curse pile
and add it to your Coven discard pile. You place her card in the Challenge discard pile, along with the
Witch Elder.

· What happens if I run out of cards?
If you are told to “draw” or “look at” a card in a deck, and there are not enough cards left, shuffle
the associated discard pile to form a new deck and then continue drawing or looking at cards. If
there are still not enough cards, draw as many as you can. If you are told to “gain a curse”, and the
Curse pile is empty, you immediately lose the game.
· What happens when an action or effect tells me to discard a card?
It depends on the type of card you are told to discard. If it is a Witch or a Curse, place it face up into
the Coven discard pile. If it is a Conviction card, place it face up in the Conviction discard pile. If it is
a Challenge card, place it face up in the Challenge discard pile.
· Is discarding a card the same as overcoming it?
No, discarding and overcoming are different. You only resolve
effects on cards when you
overcome them, not when you discard them. You may use actions or effects to discard Challenges
when you have been prevented from overcoming them (for example, because of the effect on the
Whip-poor-will). Overcoming only happens during Phase 4 (Resolve Mission), discarding can
happen at many points in the round.
· What happens when an action or effect tells me to remove a card from the game?
Place it back in the box. Do not put it into a discard pile. Do not resolve any
or
effects on it.
· What happens when an action or effect tells me to lose a card?
If it is a Witch, remove it from the game. If it is a Villager, place it into the Lost Souls pile.
· What should I do when I am told to uncover a card?
Flip the card face up. If it is already face up, don’t do anything.
20
. Frequently Asked Questions .

---

5
· What does it mean when an action or effect talks about Witches which are “in play”?
A Witch card is considered “in play” after you’ve played it from your hand face up in front of you.
Witches typically leave play during Phase 6 (Recover) but may leave play earlier due to Challenge
and Mission effects. Witches in your hand, in decks, or in piles are not considered in play.
· What does it mean when an effect talks about “revealed” or “hidden” Witches?
Each Witch card in play is either “hidden” or “revealed”, depending on the choice you made when
you played it. Witch cards in your hand or in a deck or discard pile are not considered “hidden” or
“revealed”.
· If an action or effect tells me to draw a Witch card, do I need to play it this round?
Yes, you must play it. You cannot “hide” Witch cards in your hand or save them for the next round.
· How do I get the Witches from the Recruit deck and Jail pile?
There are a few Witch actions and Challenge and Mission
effects which tell you to recruit a
Witch. When this happens, draw a card from the Recruit deck and place it into your Coven discard
pile. There are also a few actions and
effects which let you take Witches back from the Jail pile.
· Do I need to overcome all Challenges at a Mission in order to win the Mission?
No, you don’t. In fact, you typically won’t be able to overcome the Mission and all of its Challenges.
You need to choose which is more important!
· Can overcoming Challenges increase my available power?
Yes, it can. Each time you overcome a Challenge, check to see if this impacts the power on any of the
Witches or Familiars in your play area.
21

---

4
· Is there a limit to how many Challenges can be at one Mission?
Yes, no more than 8 Challenge cards can be placed in each Mission. The highest Challenges value
on a Mission is 6, but some actions and effects instruct you to add more Challenges to Missions or
move Challenges between Missions.
· Can I use Witch actions to affect Challenges in other Missions?
Yes, you can. You can discard, uncover, and move Challenges at any face-up Mission in the display,
not just the one you’ve chosen (or will choose). You cannot, however, overcome Challenges on other
Missions or move Challenges to a face-down (failed) Mission.
· How do I deal with “blocking” Challenges like Angry Mob and Whip-poor-will?
You have two options. You can get rid of the blocking Challenge by overcoming, discarding, or
moving it. Alternatively, you accept that you won’t overcome the Mission (Angry Mob) or the other
Challenges on the Mission (Whip-poor-will). If a Mission has multiple blocking Challenges, you
need to get rid of them all before you can overcome the “real” (non-blocking) cards!
· Can I use Marie’s revealed action in Phase 1 to shut off an effect on a Mission you won't
choose in Phase 2?
Yes, you can.
· Can I use the Fox’s effect as soon as I capture it?
No, you can only use its effect when you choose a Mission in a future round.
· How does Josephine’s revealed action interact with effects which boost difficulty?
Ignore the difficulty boosts. Only increase her power by the unmodified difficulty value printed on
the discarded Challenge card. So if she discards a Skeleton card, don’t increase her power value for
each hidden Witch in play. Similarly, don’t give her extra power if there is a Wood Sprites in play or
the chosen Mission is “Destroy the Lost Soldier Camp at the Old Battlefield”.
