The Mystic Moon is rising, and that means it's peak season to brew potions (and stir up a little mischief). Forage ingredients in the moonlit garden, barter with the mysterious Elder Witch, and arrange puzzles of Ingredients in your bubbling cauldron as you prove your prowess to the stars. But witches should beware ...

Your rivals may unleash mischievous frogs to snatch your ingredients or poisonous mushrooms to sabotage your brew, because when the moon completes its final cycle, only one witch will shine brightest.

Before you start, you must pick your Witch's Hut! Each Witch's Hut includes a Cauldron to brew your Potions in, along with a unique Talent you can use to get ahead.

Throughout the game, you'll take turns visiting the Garden under the Mystic Moon, collecting magical Ingredients to store in your Satchel for later.

You'll find Basic, Rare, and Wild Ingredients blooming in the Garden. Basic and Rare Ingredients are used in Recipes to form specific Potions, while Wild Ingredients can be used in place of any other Ingredient.

When you finish collecting Ingredients it's time to brew Potions! You'll assemble raw Ingredients in your Cauldron in puzzles to generate Potions with potent effects and mystical Star Power. Each Potion card displays a specific Recipe of Ingredients in a particular configuration you must add to your Cauldron.

Throughout the game, you'll encounter Frog familiars that will help you steal Ingredients from other players, and you'll concoct Poisonous Mushrooms you can throw into another witch's brew!

Star Power is both your currency and your point total throughout the game! You can spend Star Power when you visit the Elder Witch to learn new Recipes, and earn it when you brew Potions. The player with the most Star Power when the Mystic Moon has completed a full cycle (5 rounds) wins the game! -- Publisher's description
