In Voodoo, players become wicked sorcerers who curse their opponents with tricky spells. Each turn, you roll dice to collect ingredients, then choose to draw cards, gain items, or cast curses that force your targets to follow funny restrictions like using one hand or speaking with their tongue out. Points are earned by casting curses and if targets fail to obey. The goal is to collect malediction points and reach the top of the scoreboard first.
