Septima is a competitive, high-interaction strategy game of witchcraft. As the leader of a coven, you strive to overcome your rivals to become the worthy successor of Septima, the High Witch.

You play through four Seasons, each consisting of five rounds, to gather a powerful coven of Witches and gain enough Wisdom points to become the worthy successor.

You will accumulate Wisdom as you practice your craft in the superstitious town of Noctenburg: gather ingredients, brew powerful Potions, perform Rituals, heal the afflicted, and work in the shadows to turn suspicion and anger into support and acceptance.

Septima invites players into a rich world with mechanisms that satisfy both euro-gamers and thematic game enthusiasts. The rules are easy to understand due to their thematic connections, while they also contain great tactical and strategic depth.

Plan your actions with a semi-coop twist

Septima uses a snappy card-driven action system where players plan their actions simultaneously each round. You may choose to play it safe on your own, or temporarily work with other players or even the Septima, choosing the same action as they do.

Manage suspicion and avoid the hunters

Acting together grants a powerful bonus effect, but such direct displays of witchcraft also raise suspicion and attract Hunters. This creates a world that constantly reacts to you, where powerful moves are both tempting and dangerous. 

Manipulate the trials to expand your coven

As you use your magic to heal, recruit and charm the townsfolk, you will gain loyal supporters to swing the Trials in your favor. Saving an accused Witch from exile is a great way to grow your Coven and gain new permanent abilities!

Basic and full game modes, expansions

Septima includes a Basic game mode that introduces players to its core mechanisms, making the game more accessible. The Full game mode allows players to make much more complex decisions, and for new challenges, the Shapeshifting & Omens expansion is available separately.
