1589

From BoardGameGeek:

In the year of our Lord 1589, the northern Rhineland is swept by a tide of savage persecutions and hasty summary trials for heresy, witchcraft, and lycanthropy. The County Tribunal, led by the controversial Prior Erastinuz Wetzel, launches numerous proceedings, accusing - primarily young women - of these crimes. During one of these trials, the young Magdalena Roth, under pressure from the devout matrons of Blutfurt (The Pure), is accused of being a werewolf and sentenced to burn. Her execution is set for the evening of the second day of November, but Powerwolf - sons of the Legends of the Night and the Armenia Savage Army, defenders of the "Real Truth" - are determined to stop this injustice and break the bloody cycle unleashed by the Priory's fanaticism and its most feared servant: the relentless witch hunter Sebastian Rabenklaue, known as the Devourer of Heretics! Can you lead the Powerwolf in a desperate quest to save an innocent girl from a false accusation and a terrible fate? 1589 is a co-operative game in which players must lead the Powerwolf in a desperate quest to save an innocent girl from a false accusation and a terrible fate before the hour of Vespers (that is, within eight game turns). They will gather evidence of the Prior's fanaticism, act from the shadows to sabotage the execution - by extinguishing torches or stealing bundles - lure the witch hunter away from the pyre by drawing him into the forest, and sway the Pure to return to their homes, convincing them of the girl's innocence. But beware as both the Pure and the witch hunter are deeply suspicious. Any false step may reveal the Powerwolf as accomplices to the accused...and earn them a place at the stake! -description from the publisher
