Harrow County: The Game of Gothic Conflict

A thematic, asymmetric combat game set in a gothic rural county where multiple factions pursue different goals. Players take the roles of Protectors rescuing townsfolk, a family intent on destroying the county, a power-seeking rival who aims to rule, or the buried witch who can rise and infect other forces. Gameplay uses hex-based movement of haints (undead) and activation via mason jars, with combat resolved through a custom cube tower integrated into the box. The witch’s player can spread infection along roots to gain shared control of units, and if revived must consume other legends to restore full power. Victory depends on achieving each faction’s distinct mission through area control and enemy elimination.
