You CAN Expect the Spanish Inquisition with ‘Inquisitio’

Inquisitio, from Dragon Dawn Productions, sounds like an interesting game – although maybe one best suited for a bit older and more mature gamers. Players try to survive imprisonment and interrogation by the Spanish Inquisition during the early part of the Seventeenth Century while focusing attention away from themselves and toward their opponents. Inquisitio is for three to five players, ages 13 and up with an MSRP of $30 through Game Salute.

From Dragon Dawn:

It is the year 1609 in Logroño, northern Spain. The Spanish inquisition has undertaken a campaign to root out witchcraft and massive examinations are about to start. You are a suspect. Will you be able to assure the interrogators of your innocence through cunning, resilience and skillful use of bribes? Or will you break under torture and end up being burned at the stake as a witch?

In Inquisitio players try to balance between enduring the horrors of brutal interrogations and not confessing to too many crimes of witchcraft. The player who manages to avoid being sentenced to the stake and is freed from the dungeon with the best combination of health, sanity and innocence will be the winner.
