Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas: Malleus Maleficarum

Players guide monks through an ancient room to recover lost books. Cards move and rotate footbridges, creating paths across the board, while single-use Liber Fidei cards provide special moves. The first player to recover all their books wins. The Malleus Maleficarum expansion adds the wandering ghost of the Black Monk. Players can discard cards during opponents’ turns to move the ghost, which curses players it encounters. Curses can also be gained to activate powerful Malleus Maleficarum cards, but reduce available action points or cards.
