Where it came from
Witchcraft! is a solitaire wargame originally designed by Roger Tankersley and first released in the late 1980s by Victory Games. The game places the player in the role of a local magistrate in a 17th-century New England village, tasked with investigating and managing the rising hysteria and supernatural threats of a witch trial. It was noted during its original run for its thematic depth and its innovative approach to solo board gaming, prioritizing narrative tension and moral dilemmas over traditional tactical combat.
The 2023 edition, published by Fox in the Box, serves as a modernized revival of this cult classic. The publisher maintained the integrity of Tankersley's original design while updating the presentation and rulebook for contemporary players. This version has been received by the hobbyist community as a faithful restoration, appreciated for its historical atmosphere and the unique, often grim, gameplay experience that balances administrative control with the encroaching chaos of the era.
