I heard this game was a german knockoff of AH. Does anyone know any more about the game?
Witch of Salem
Hmmmm....
Thematically, it's definitely the same: 1920's Arkham, stop the GOO waking up, etc. Practically, it seems quite different: much much simpler and much less faithfulness to the Mythos. Talk about a misleading title, though!
It also seems unforgivably cheesy. I know AH can suffer from cheesiness but I can't take it when it runs rampant (which is why I can't bring myself to pick up Kingsport). Looks like one for the kiddiwinks to me.
Good argument between an AH fan and a Ghost Stories* fan found here: www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3677073#3677073
*(apparently the mechanics are really similar to a game called Ghost Stories)
