Pagan: Close Encounters Expansion

Pagan: Close Encounters

Unnatural Forces Stir in the Shadows of Roanoke

The witch hunt escalates beyond earthly understanding in Pagan: Close Encounters, the boldest and most mysterious expansion yet for the acclaimed asymmetrical deduction game Pagan: Fate of Roanoke. With strange sightings, inexplicable phenomena, and whispers of beings not of this world, the village’s familiar darkness gives way to something far more unsettling.

What if the truth is not witchcraft, but something stranger still?

As the Witch and Witch Hunter continue their desperate struggle, Pagan: Close Encounters adds a new dimension—literally—to the game’s rich narrative, layered gameplay, and evolving strategies. This is not just a new expansion—it’s an invitation to look up.

A Supernatural Twist on Deduction

In Pagan: Close Encounters, the world of Roanoke is pierced by cosmic mysteries. Unmarked lights in the sky. Villagers behaving strangely. Tools vanishing. The expansion introduces new decks, cards, and mechanics that lean into science-fiction horror, giving both players fresh opportunities and chilling new threats to consider.

Will you trust what your eyes see, or what your instincts scream?

What’s Inside the Pagan: Close Encounters Expansion?

• Otherworldly Cards: New abilities, conditions, and threats unlike anything Roanoke has faced before.

• Expanded Mechanics: New actions and reactions that alter how you investigate, deceive, and strategize.

• New Villagers: Eccentric characters whose loyalties are questionable—are they hiding witchery… or something even darker?

How It Plays

The fundamentals of Pagan: Fate of Roanoke remain intact—an asymmetrical, two-player card game where the Witch must complete a secret ritual while the Hunter races to uncover her identity.

With Pagan: Close Encounters, you’ll experience new twists on familiar mechanics:

• Close Encounter Events may affect both players each round.

• Alien Interference can suddenly alter the villagers’ behavior or even the board itself.

• New Player Powers reflect the shifting tone—no longer is this just a fight between nature and man, but between reason and the inexplicable.

You’ll still place action pawns, play cards from personalized 50-card decks, and track influence across villagers. But now, a third party may be watching…
