About this deal
On the surface Bristol 1350 is part cooperative teamwork, part racing strategy, and part social deduction. In reality, it’s a selfish scramble to get yourself out of town as fast as possible without the plague, by any means necessary. The fourth game in the Dark Cities series – Bristol follows Salem, Deadwood and Tortuga in embodying a ‘Horrible Histories’ style take on some of the darkest chapters of our collective civilisation. Mechanically slight but brilliantly tuned, it offers a refined twist on the social deduction genre that is a perfect hair-shirt fit for its theme, as eyes dart manically to-and-fro across the table, accusations are spat and inglorious betrayals are enacted with a gruesome relish.
Remedies range from crushed emerald, to arsenic, to that perennial curative favourite-leeches. Each of them – if tactically deployed – can mean the difference between a dotage spent lounging beneath the lazy arc of a windmill, or the premature penance of a wheezing, grasping death.

Or perhaps you will be a witch yourself, escape conviction, and bring Salem to the ground. Tortuga 1667 – Volume 2 in the Dark Cities Series by Facade Games For 2-9 Players. 20-40 minutes. Ages 12+.

Players, each acting as one of these unique characters, are given 3-5 Tryal cards (depending on the number of players). These Tryal cards reveal the true identity of each player, “Witch” or “Not a Witch.” The fact that St Philips Bridge wasn’t built until much later explains the slightly counter-intuitive road layout that still exists in Redcliffe today - there’s no straight line to that second bridge. The Marsh OK, Mike… Maybe they could deny it
