"The witch needs "guinea pigs" to try her new potions, and you, her loyal goblin minions, have been designated as forced volunteers for this occasion. It's not as terrible as it seems; okay, some of those potions may have a deadly effect… But the witch, always generous, has promised that one of you will leave unharmed, as a reward for her cunning, for her instinct and because someone will have to clean everything in the end..."
In this "party-goblin" of 4 to 10 players from 8 years of age and with a duration of approximately 15-20 minutes we will have potions, spells, antidotes, goblins and above all MANY LAUGHS!
—description from the designer
"La bruja necesita "conejillos de indias" para probar sus nuevas pociones y vosotros, sus leales esbirros goblins, habéis sido designados como voluntarios forzosos para esta ocasión. No es tan terrible como parece; vale, puede que algunas de esas pociones tengan un efecto mortal… Pero la jefa, siempre generosa, ha prometido que uno de vosotros saldrá ileso, como premio por su astucia, por su instinto y porque digo yo que alguien tendrá que limpiarlo todo al final."
