Read the full game description
Harrow County translates Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook’s Southern Gothic comic into a deeply asymmetric conflict. One player may command the Protectors defending the county while another leads Hester Beck’s family, with a third faction available for a three-player struggle. Each side drafts actions and deploys unique powers across a hex map while the cube tower and chit-pull system keep battles uncertain. Protectors try to save townsfolk and contain supernatural threats; Hester’s forces spread influence and pursue darker objectives. Deduction matters because intentions and hidden pieces cannot always be read directly. The result is a moody strategy game where the same locations carry very different meaning for each faction and every campaign for control tells a sharp, character-driven story.
