Take on the role of one of four witches competing in the annual potion brewing contest! The winner receives a 50% off coupon for Hansel's Housing Goods and the keys to a gently used houseboat. The twist? All competitors must share a single cauldron, making every move critical. A poorly placed ingredient could allow your opponents finish their potions first and take the lead. You must plan carefully, block your rivals, and outmaneuver the competition to win in this dynamic, engaging, and quick competitive board game! Players take turns pulling a random ingredient from a bag and placing it on an empty location of a three by three grid (the cauldron). After placing the ingredient, the player can complete a potion by matching an exact color pattern to a recipe card that they have in their hand or displayed around the cauldron. If they don't see a match, they may draw a card and then discard a card to search for a more suitable recipe. The first player to complete a number of potions based on the number of players wins. -description from the designer
