Summary |
"The Revolution must succeed. Gather your forces (your deck is a coven of witches who must fight for American independence) ... as perils fly (play cards to overcome events, each requiring different magical specialties). Cooperative gameplay (each coven can help every turn in a truly cooperative game) ... with limited resources (aiding allies too often reduces the impact you can have on your turn, so you must choose wisely). Recruit allies (send your witches to enlist ever-more-powerful aid and turn your deck) ... but beware (a subtly different deck-builder where decks are shaped and upgraded rather than simply built, with consequences for pruning too aggressively). The colonies of the Americas were a haven for the persecuted, but ... those who would have freedom must fight for it." |
