I love this game, it's such fun and I love that you can play it alone. It is also beautifully designed. Just wanted to double check, if you're playing with Ghosts, on their turn do they choose an action on their turn, or do they just reroll a die? Also, concerning the Ghosts reroll, if they're the cart in front when an apple is shown then who moves cos no one is in front of them?
Thank you, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! If playing with a Ghost, they will always roll one die on their turn. They will roll the die that is of the cart furthest ahead that is not their own. And they will roll an apple of that color, if possible, and a rat if not. After their roll, if they ended up rolling any color of apple they will move forward in some way. They will elbow forward if they are not in front of their current cart. They will dash to the cart ahead of theirs if they are at the front of their cart. And if they are at the front of the first cart, they will push the player who is on their cart sitting furthest back on that cart. If the ghost is alone in the first cart then they will do nothing. Does that answer?
0:55 The placement of meeples in the carts is incorrect. With 5 players you start with 2 in birch, 2 in cedar, and 1 in oak. I've seen the placement done a couple of different ways: fill birch then cedar then oak OR fill 1st positions then 2nd positions then 3rd positions (as needed based on player count) going birch -> cedar -> oak, that is B1,C1,O1,B2,C2,O2,B3,C3,O3. That's kind of what you did, but in the reverse order so the "slower" carts go filled first. My preferred method is 1st positions then 2nd positions then 3rd positions going birch -> cedar -> oak. That way you don't have to refer to the table in the rules to determine how many in each cart and if someone joins in as you're setting up you don't need to rearrange anything, you just throw their meeple into the bag and continue picking and placing. 1:54 Before shuffling in the 4 (boils) symptoms you need to confirm that no one starts with two 3 (chills) symptoms and the plague. The rules state all players begin sick, but not with the plague and that if you are dealt two chills to start the game you return them and draw two more. We had 2 players have that happen in a game this weekend.
Genial. Quiero unirme a un comentario anterior. ¿Se podrán aduirir solo los upgrades? Tengo todos los títulos de la serie Dark Cities Games y me interesa solamente dichos upgrades. Espero, con ansías, ver los nuevos roles que se eligieron para Salem. Saludos.
uhh nice! I have all of your Dark Cities games. Glad we can buy the upgrades only cause I already have duplicates for 2 of them because I bought the pack with all games from the Hollywood Kickstarter to give some away. I'll most likely get the upgrades for the ones I do not own already
I have 4 questions The first question is about only two players remaining Is the excuse card out of play? The second question is about the girl ANN PUTNAM When you reveal a Tryal card, before revealing it, you take two cards, but if one of the two cards is Night or Conspiracy, do you reveal Tryal and then the Conspiracy or Night is activated, or will the Conspiracy or Night be activated and then reveal Tryal? The third question Player 1👨🏻💼🛡️ (in front of him is an asylum card) Player 2👨🏻💼 Player 3🧙🏻♂️👮🏻♂️ Player 3 wants to kill Player 2, but Player 3 must protect someone. Player 3 cannot protect himself Can player 3 protect player 1 so that he can kill player 2, but player 1 has asylum? The fourth question is about REPECCA When a tryal is revealed, she can take a card. If she is able to reveal a tryal to the player, does she take a card and play the same role? 🌹🌹🌹
Hello. I am not sure what you mean by the excuse card? At 2 players the blue cards no longer have effect. For Ann Putnam, if she draws Night or Conspiracy those would happen before she reveals the Tryal. Yes, Player 3 can protect Player 1 even though it would have no effect. Yes, if Rebecca reveals a Tryal she can still take a card. Hope that helps!
@@Facade_Games Thank you very much🖤. The first question is: What are the green cards that go out of play when two players remain? ALIBI: Do they go out of the game?
@@user-gp4sb7ul3g The rulebook in the Nitty Gritties, Blue Cards section says: "If only two players are left, all Blue Cards are discarded from teh game. If you are one of the last two players remaining, when you draw a Blue Card place it aside and draw a new card instead." None of the green cards are discarded from the game when there are two players.
Work of genius. How many 1-9 player games are there . Plus it plays really well with each of them > Job changes seem a bit too frequent with more players but I still love it.
Question: When you reveal the last tryal card, one player dies and then another player dies because of the matchmaker, does Rebecca take the cards because all the tryal cards are tried?
The blue skull card that contains nothing. My brother, who is 10 years old, suggested that if this card was played on anyone, he would lose his character's ability until it was removed from the curse card or the scapegoat. 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 I suggest assigning a so-called investigator or coroner to 8-12 players. The gameplay is: When the night begins, everyone closes their eyes. Magicians, open your eyes. Choose a player to kill. Now close your eyes, witches. Now, policeman, open your eyes and place the hammer in front of the player to protect him from the witches. Close your eyes, policeman. Open your eyes, Coroner, point to one of the players. You cannot mark someone who has an asylum card or is protected by the police. Now everyone opens their eyes, who wants to confess?! what a coincidence. The player who had a mark from the coroner was killed. Now everyone closes their eyes again, Detective, open your eyes and choose one player to see all his Tryal
I love the idea and theme of this game, and I usually play games solo. Games with a “dummy” mechanic are always dodgy for me though… but I love how there’s a lot of switching around and not being completely certain what’s a safe decision or not.
@@MichalB41 if carts end a round on the same spot, the cart that started that round ahead of the others is "nudged" slightly forward from the others, but stays on the same square. This determines positioning for the next round for pushes and dashes, though the carts are on the same square.
i am impressed with the video quality. condense, informative, clear voice, great BGM. Bravo! I am playhing this game this afternoon and now I am all hyped up!
Tortuga is one of the best games out there. I have Salem, Deadwood, and Bristol as well. This one just arrived yesterday and we're playing it tomorrow woo!!!!
Yes, if a cart finishes but someone has the plague, the game continues. The other carts will have one more round to finish, but if they don't make it out of the gates in time then they lose (and all plagued players win). If an all-healthy cart does make it out on time, everyone in the healthy cart wins.
@Facade_Games Hi. Could you please tell me the size of the movie poster cards? i want to buy this from a local store but i want to buy sleeves as well. thank you.
Are you allowed to use the actor/actress or any job card that involves making any player to draw cards then discard, are you able to use those on ghosts? And when you get a congressional hearing card then reroll all dice, do you still reroll the ghost dice and yours after that card or no? And are you still able to roll your own dice as a turn cause I noticed you didn’t do that as much unless you just didn’t want to use that as your turn?
Thanks so much, glad you are enjoying the game! The ghosts can not be given new cards with roles such as the actor/actress. Congressional Hearing cards DO re-roll all dice including the ghost dice and your dice. Yes, you can re-roll your own dice as a turn. Let me know if there are any other questions!
@@Facade_GamesAwesome thank you! One more question do you have to play 2 turns, like if you’ve already played one turn but you don’t want to play your second because you feel good where you’re at, do you have to play both?
@@Facade_GamesSay that this round is supposed to have three cards total, When you are the composer and you draw Two then discard one and one in the movie, now there’s four cards in the movie, does that card you put in the movie stay there for the whole round or do you still shuffle the movie deck and discard one until there’s three cards, or keep all four in the movie
I use The Crucible in my class and I moderated this game for my students. The video was a huge help and the students enjoyed the game a lot. Thank you!

Thank you! It's not currently in the plans. There are so many good pirate songs out there that we have considered putting together a playlist of recommended songs though.
Our newest game, Hollywood 1947, has solo rules included. It will be released in the fall, but you can pre-order here: hollywood-1947.backerkit.com/survey_stores Salem 1692, Tortuga 1667, and Deadwood 1876 each go down to 2 players, but we may develop solo variants for those in the future as well.
Thanks so much for the solo playthrough! I really love the design of this game. I tried play solo once yesterday and had a few questions would like to ask: 1. I see that on the set up, you put 2 pawns on the oak cart, but in the rulebook it said 1-3 players game there will be 2 pawns on the birch cart and 1 for each of the remaining cart. I'm not sure if that will affect the gameplay somehow. 2. On the rulebook it also said each player will start with 2 remedy cards, which I assume ghosts won't get any, but I see that you only start with 1 remedy card. I guess it's just up to you since more remedy cards to start means you have more options to choose from in the beginning? 3. I encountered a situation where me and 1 ghost were in the leading cart, and second cart was an empty cart, then the last cart had the other 2 ghosts. Then the ghost at the front of the last cart rerolled and got an apple, in this situation they have to move forward, do they immediately jump to the leading cart where I was in, and be the last place in my cart, or do they just go to the empty cart and be the front one?
Glad you enjoyed the game! We did make some minor tweaks to the rulebook after filming this video. Nothing major, but good catches! Here are my answers: 1. The rulebook is correct. It doesn't matter a ton, but yes the birch cart will have 2 pawns. 2. The rulebook is correct. You start with 2 remedy cards, and the ghosts get none. 3. The ghost who rolled the apple would go to the front of the empty cart in the middle.
When you do the Push action, isn't the pushed player supposed to go to the furthest back cart? was that a mistake in the visuals? the yellow pawn only went 1 cart back.
You are correct - it is a mistake in the visual. If pushed you go to the available position that is furthest back (usually on the back of the cart in back).
