Join us for the launch of a new card game exploring the seventeenth-century Scottish witch hunts.

Witch Hunt 1649 is a pair of card games developed by a staff/student team from the Arts Faculty at Warwick. Players take on the roles of neighbours in a seventeenth-century Scottish community riven by accusations of witchcraft. The aim of the project was to provide a sensitive, non-sensationalised exploration of the witch hunts, promoting understanding of the historical backdrop and empathy for victims.

The games can be played at home or in school/university classrooms. They are available for free download and home printing, or for purchase (£15 + P&P if required). All proceeds go to the Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre.

Join us at the launch event to try out one of the games!

Refreshments provided; no pre-registration required. For more on the project, see https://marthamcgill.co.uk/witchhunt1649/
