In The Witch Pot players are kids trying to cast out the evil witch that has cursed their forest and village. They gather crystals, pumpkins, fireflies and mushrooms to brew potions while trying to avoid curses. Precision is essential in finding the perfect combination of potions that banish the witch and make you the village hero. Fast paced action with a quick learning curve makes The Witch Pot accesible and replayable while offering enough depth for skill development.
The game develops over a series of turns in which players throw rings trying to capture specific or random poles in order to collect ingredient cards or color tokens. Using these resources they are able to brew potions at the end of each turn. The first player to brew 3 potions is the village hero.
The competition element of the game is found in the fact that only the topmost ring around each pole is considered as the winning ring. Therefore, players have to make constant tactical choices.
Players can also try to capture the black pole in the middle of the game board. In doing so, they are able to steal other players color tokens and use them to their own advantage.
