Two witches circle a card grid collecting ingredient sets, where each card grabbed sets your next move.

A crafty two-player set-collection game about witches shopping for potion ingredients. Your token circles a grid of cards, and the number on the card you grab dictates how far you move next, so choosing what to pick up also chooses where you can go. Collect matching sets of four and dodge the penalty for lonely singletons.

Who it's for

Couples and pairs who want a smart, interactive two-player game with a neat movement-and-collection twist.

Not for you if…

You need more than two players or dislike memory elements; it is strictly a two-player game and remembering buried cards is central to playing well.

Vibe's take

A tight, clever two-player tussle where picking a card and choosing your path are the same decision.
