Welcome to the biggest black-magic dispute ever. You are a wicked sorcerer, and your goal is to curse your rivals so thoroughly that they cannot beat you. Each turn you roll five dice, collect ingredients and then choose: take new cards, take new items or cast a spell. Every spell comes with a curse that forces your victim to behave in a specific, silly way, such as talking with their tongue out, using one hand only or running a lap around the table each turn. It is half dice game, half party stunt show, and the table usually dissolves into laughter. Two to eight players, around 30 minutes, ages 8 and up.

Who it's for

Your group likes games that end in laughter, with a bit of acting and silly rules to follow.

Not for you if…

You want a serious, thinking game or you dislike being made to act in front of people.

Vibe's take

Loud, silly and physical. The dice give the game its pace, but the curses give it the fun, because everyone ends up playing in some ridiculous way.
