The Village

About

A peasant, the village head, a judge, a guard, a priest, or perhaps you are the psychopath? The Village is a game with a mysterious atmosphere, set in an isolated medieval village. One or two psychopaths stalk the village, seeking to eliminate all its inhabitants. But can you be certain that those who stand with the community today will not turn to madness tomorrow? Limited communication becomes a tool of manipulation, and survival depends on developing effective methods of information exchange and conscious observation. Every player holds a specific role within the village - but is everyone truly who they claim to be? Each role in the village comes with its own responsibilities and unique abilities that influence the course of the game. Even the seemingly “ordinary” peasant has a real impact on the fate of the community. Trust is fragile - someone who fought side by side with others for survival may, the very next day, secretly cooperate with a psychopath. To survive, the villagers must uncover and eliminate all psychopaths. Observe. Question. Choose your words carefully, so they convey as much meaning as possible with as few words as possible. When words are few, they matter most. —description from the publisher
