A midnight bell tolls in the streets of Wildegrens, and the villagers shutter their windows against the dark. Crops fail, animals die and people vanish, and the village suspects the women who slip into the forest at night of dealing with the devil. Witchcraft! is a fast, card-driven solitaire game in which you lead a coven of witches in a world where magic is real, and so are the monsters. Building on the hidden-and-revealed mechanism of Resist!, you decide when to use magic to defeat the creatures threatening the village, building your deck as you go. Scenarios link into a campaign. One player, about 40 minutes, from age 10. Released in 2023.

Who it's for

You want a quick, atmospheric solo game with a folkloric witch theme and real choices about when to use magic.

Not for you if…

You want a multiplayer game or a very light one. It is solo only, and the monsters are not gentle.

Vibe's take

Moody and tense, with a lot of small decisions on a short clock. You build up your coven's tricks and then gamble on the right moment to reveal them, hoping your timing beats the monsters'.
