About the game
If you thought the base game of Pagan: Fate of Roanoke was already intense, get ready to crank up the psychological chaos! Mindgames is the third content pack released to expand the possibilities of this mysterious and tense universe. You know that moment when you think you've finally figured out your opponent's next move? Well, this pack is designed specifically to mess with your plans and make you second-guess everything.

The core focus here is purely psychological and strategic. Featuring a fresh set of cards—16 dedicated to Hunters and 16 for Witches—Mindgames introduces layers of uncertainty that can shift the tide of a game in an instant. For those playing as Hunters, the new cards provide tools to destabilize the witches; for the Witches, it's a chance to craft even more convoluted and deceptive schemes.

It's not just about having stronger cards; it's about the mental game. The new options allow you to play with your opponent's psyche, forcing them to make decisions based on assumptions rather than concrete facts. If you thrive on that 'are they bluffing?' feeling or want to add some extra spice to your deduction and control strategies, this pack is the upgrade your table has been waiting for. It turns a predictable match into a mind-bending duel worthy of a supernatural thriller. Just a heads-up: you absolutely need the base game to dive into the Mindgames experience!
