A group of villagers must find and lynch the witches among them during the day, while the witches kill a target every night.
Description:
Unlike similar games, dead players on both teams continue to influence the game. Additionally, each player has a unique character with a simple ability--including the witches. This means the abilities of the witch team varies wildly game-to-game.

Twas the morning after Christmas - and Santa is missing! Where has he gone? Who's in charge now? Will Christmas be ready in time, or is this the end of the North Pole?
Description:
After a successful Christmas, the elves of the North Pole wake up to find Santa missing - and with him, centuries of accumulated magic! Is this a callous desertion, or foul play? Worse still, with the magic missing, parts of the North Pole are starting to fade away. Can the elves manage without The Big Man? And - asking for a friend - who's in charge now?
You Better Watch Out is a megagame driven by a set of easy-to-learn board game rules for resource management and worker placement, with the emergent gameplay opportunities at home in the megagame genre.
As one of the elves, you'll spend the day engaged in high-stakes toymaking with a side of corporate politics. The North Pole must be saved - but working too hard for the greater good will make it that much easier for others to pursue their own personal goals. Sounds like You Better Watch Out ...
