Whirling Witchcraft

To set up Whirling Witchcraft, each player receives a player board, a cauldron, a personality card detailing initial ingredients and special powers, and starting tokens. Recipe cards are shuffled and dealt to each player, forming private hands of brewing options, while general supplies of ingredients and tokens are placed centrally for easy access.

The main objective is to be the first witch or warlock to successfully overflow your workbench with five ingredients sent over from neighboring cauldrons, demonstrating your superior potion-brewing dominance in the forest.

Every round is played simultaneously. Players enter a study phase to choose a recipe from their hand and place it face-down. Once revealed, they brew potions by consuming resources from their workbench or general supply, filling their cauldron. Finally, players pass their filled cauldrons to their right-hand neighbors, emptying received cauldrons onto their own workbenches.

Scoring is determined directly by workbench capacity; when incoming ingredients exceed your storage limits, they overflow onto your witch circle, counting as your progress towards victory.

The game concludes as soon as a single player successfully reaches or exceeds five overflowing ingredients on their witch circle, winning the contest instantly. If multiple players achieve this simultaneously, the one with the highest total ingredients wins.
