New Game Release – Harrow County

Off the Page Games has released Harrow County, a game of gothic conflict, into retail.

A witch named Hester was hung, burned and buried under a tree. The family of Hester came to Harrow County to destroy the town, but standing in their way is 18-year old Emmy who was born out of the very tree that Hester was buried beneath.

In this asymmetric combat game, players can play as one of the Protectors, trying to rescue townsfolk, or as one of the family, trying to destroy Harrow County. You can play as a third faction – the surprise return of Emmy’s twin sister, Kammi, who wants to rule over Harrow County. Players activate mason jars to move their haints (undead creatures) around the hex-based board, as they try to accomplish their missions.

Combat is resolved using a never-before-seen cube tower that’s built into the actual box. Finally, a third player can enter the game: Hester, the dead witch buried under the tree. She controls the roots of the tree and using the cube tower, Hester can infect haints on her roots, which causes a snake to be placed into its ear. That player can still control this haint, but now so can Hester. If Hester comes back to life, then she needs to eat the other legends to gain all her power back to win.

Harrow County is for one to three players, ages fourteen and up, and plays in around forty-five to ninety minutes. It retails for $59.99.

Off the Page Games also previously released MIND MGMT(see “MIND MGMT board game“).
