Up to six players try to find witches hidden under hats by rolling a die. If you guess the right witch color, you roll again and continue. A wrong guess ends your turn. A special die face lets you swap two hats without revealing the witches. The goal is to be the first to move a witch to the final space on Block Mountain.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is aimed at families with young children aged 3 and up. With simple rules and a short playtime of about 15 minutes, it is perfect for introducing kids to board games without requiring prior experience.
How It Works
Players roll a die to determine which colored witch to find under the hats. Correct guesses allow repeated rolls and picks, while wrong guesses pass the turn to the next player. When the die shows the exchange symbol, two hats are swapped without revealing the witches. The game ends when a witch reaches the last board space.
