Septima is on the look-out for her replacement... and now you've got to prove that your coven of witches is the best succession plan. How do you do that? Well first you can help your fellow witches in the witch trials AND keep your own witches out of the trials... use your loyal citizens to ensure you're found NOT GUILTY! Then you can secretly sneak 'about town' to cure ailments with potions made of special ingredients you found deep in the woods. Ultimately, the witch with the most wisdom, wins!
Note: This is an unpaid preview with a prototype provided by Mindclash games. All rules and components are subject to change.

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game preview of Septima. We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
