About the project
Pagan: Fate of Roanoke is a two-player asymmetric card game set in the Roanoke colony in 1587. The Witch, hidden among the villagers, brews potions, empowers her familiar and casts charms to complete her ritual, while the Witch Hunter recruits allies, controls key locations and investigates villagers to expose her. Co-developed on BGA with trojanrabbit and kratos9786, the adaptation includes the “Welcome to Roanoke” and “Fate of Roanoke” scenarios.
Challenges and Risks
- Two completely different roles, each with its own 50-card deck and player model
- Hidden information: the Witch’s identity must never leak through clues, evidence or secret tokens
- Passive & active effects resolved through a queue of chained card triggers
- Scenario rules hooking into the core game flow
- Reliable undo across hidden information and triggered effects
