Septima

"Only a few corners of the world hold the secrets of magic that once healed and nurtured all of humanity. In a time long past, this magic flourished, but now it survives in the hearts of the last remaining practitioners: the witches. Often regarded as outcasts, these mystical beings can only assist humankind from the shadows.

As the time of Septima, the wise leader of their coven, approaches, witches from around the globe converge upon the enigmatic town of Noctenburg. Each witch aims to prove her worth and secure a place as her worthy successor.

Welcome to Septima! This competitive, highly interactive strategy game invites players to step into the role of a powerful witch leading her coven. Your quest? To leave an indelible mark on Noctenburg and ascend as the successor to Septima, the High Witch.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of witchcraft where you will:

- Collect herbs and brew mystical potions
- Heal the townsfolk in need
- Master charms that enhance your abilities
- Rescue fellow witches from the dangers of witch trials

But proceed with caution! Magic, even when intended for good, raises eyebrows among the suspicious townsfolk and may attract the dreaded Witch Hunters.

Engaging Gameplay: Experience thrilling action with simultaneous selection! In each turn, players secretly choose from nine powerful Action cards: Move, Collect, Brew, Heal, Recruit, Plea, Chant, Rite, and Remember. Noteworthy is the fact that actions become even more potent when multiple players select the same one! However, collaborating too closely may draw unwelcome attention.

To build a dynamic coven, you must heal, charm, or negotiate your way into the hearts of the townsfolk, gathering support to sway the Witch Trials in your favor. Successfully outvote hostile witnesses, and rescued witches can join your coven! Start with a humble gathering of witches and grow your ranks to four, each bringing their unique personality and special abilities to aid your mission.

Accessible and Visually Stunning: Designed for both newcomers and experienced players, Septima features exquisite, hand-drawn artwork by Villő Farkas, complemented by delightful character illustrations from Barbara Bernát. The game includes charming wooden components and intuitive, theme-inspired mechanics. Setting up is quick, and gameplay lasts under two hours, making it easy to learn and unforgettable.
