Town of Salem - The Card Game is now live! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blankmediagames/town-of-salem-the-card-game
What is Town of Salem - The Card Game?
Town of Salem - The Card Game is a new way to play Town of Salem with your friends in real life and you only need 3 friends to play! To begin you take out the cards for the roles you want to be in your game, just like when building a Custom Role List. Then you randomly pass out role cards to each player. Players secretly check their role card and then night begins! During the night evil roles will secretly attack players and the good roles can perform their night abilities such as the Doctor healing, the BodyGuard protecting and the Investigator checking players roles. Once the night is over the moderator will announce which players have died and discussion begins! Players may then accuse each other and if a player gets enough accusations against them they must stand trial. If the accused player cannot convince the town of their innocence they are lynched at the gallows and are out of the game! Then the next night phase begins and this repeats until one faction remains.
Town of Salem - The Card Game includes many of your favorite roles as well as some brand new ones! The game will come with 40 cards, a game manual and a beautiful box. Some tiers of the Kickstarter will include a special one time print of unique artwork, signed boxes and cards hand drawn by the creators!
Free Digital Rewards For Backers
As part of the Kickstarter rewards we are going to be giving away unique cosmetics to our backers (and the card game of course). Be sure to check out the Kickstarter as this will be the only chance to get these exclusive cosmetics (they will never be purchasable in the shop). The value of these cosmetics are not added to the pricing tiers of the Kickstarter because they are just a free bonus for supporting us!
Free Digital Rewards For Everyone!
We know that card games aren't for everyone but that doesn't mean we forgot about you! A few days after the launch of the Kickstarter we are going to be announcing a free pack of cosmetics called the "Angels & Demons" pack. This pack will be granted to all users who login during the Kickstarter campaign if we can hit a reasonable stretch goal. You do not have to be a backer to get these rewards! We simply encourage you to share the Kickstarter with your friends and be supportive (in spirit) of the campaign.
The "Angels & Demons" pack will include:
Character & Pet Concept Art (this skin will have a unique death animation):
Dark Portal House:
And 2 Lobby Icons: Angel & Demon!
What will happen if this Kickstarter is over-funded?
Any profits made from this Kickstarter are going to go towards hiring more programmers, artists, designers, and QA for Town of Salem (online). If the card game Kickstarter is successful it will make it much easier for us to expand our small team and get new digital features out faster and more polished.
Why did you spend time on this instead of role balances, new roles, new game features, etc?
Every programmer on the BMG staff has been hard at work developing the mobile version of Town of Salem for the past several months. It is currently in Beta testing and will be live shortly! While our programmers were hard at work our artists and designers found themselves with little to do besides continue making new cosmetics. We decided it would be a lot cooler to have the team make a new card game instead! Since card games are entirely about art and manufacturing it didn't require any programmer time and even through the Kickstarter campaign our programmers will be continuing to work on mobile and patch 1.5.0 (checkout the announcement to see what new features are coming soon!)
What about the emotes and private lobby stretch goals from the Steam/Mobile Kickstarter?
Those features are still coming! Our programming team will be starting on those features as soon as mobile is done (in May).
