It's an asymmetric game where players control 1 of 3 factions (Protectors, The Family, and Kammi), with each one having their own play-style and objectives. The game includes a 3rd player, the dead witch, Hester Beck, who's buried under the tree. You can even play up to 4 players with the Fair Folk Expansion.
The Deluxe version of the Fair Folk Expansion is included in this pledge!

The Satchel Edition comes with everything in the Deluxe Edition and:
All 69 of the wooden ability tokens are replaced with metal ability tokens!
a PVC (plastic) satchel that opens and closes to protect your Deluxe Harrow County Game. It has a cloth strap with metal fasteners so you can actually carry this game around using this satchel. The satchel is a great way to protect the 2 open holes on the outside of the box. This will help ensure the holes don't get caught on things when taking it on or off the shelf.
Omnibus 1 and 2 of the Harrow County comic book (over 30 issues!) as well as the 4 issues of the Fair Folk miniseries in a digital downloadable format. Read the entire series to familiarize yourself with the world of Harrow County before the game hits the table! Download codes will be delivered as soon as the pledge manager closes (as refunds are not possible after that).
Play as one of five Protectors who are trying to rescue townsfolk and escorting them back to your home. They collect ability tokens and add them to tracks on their board.
Play as one of six Family members who are trying to destroy Harrow County by placing a path of storms from your home to one of the buildings in Harrow County. They collect ability tokens and add them to their bag, or permanently discard them to their board, which increases how many tokens they can pull out of their bag on future turns.
Play as Kammi and one of three of her goblins who wants to rule Harrow County but first she needs to find her hidden doll that contains her life essence and only her opponent knows where it is. She collects ability tokens and adds them to tracks on her board, but when she activates her abilities, she uses a separate board to slide in a token which then activates 2 different abilities.
Play as Hester, the dead witch who's buried under the tree. She doesn't want the ability tokens. Instead, she controls the roots of the tree and attempts to infect the Haints belonging to the other players in an attempt to come back to life - and eat the other Legends!
