Just a bunch of Hocus Pocus fun!
By Anonymous on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
🔮 “It’s just a bunch of HOCUS POCUS!” 🔮 Our family ran amok, amok, amok, amok, trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters from creating their potion. The instructions are a little complicated, but once we got a hang of the game it was very fun & easy! Definitely a must have for a family with kids 7 & up especially if y’all love the movie. The objective is to work together to ruin the Sanderson Sisters’ potion 3 times so the sun comes up on the witches board. You take turns changing the potion in the cauldron until you can stun a witch. However their magic prevents you from sharing your hand so you have to ask each other questions instead. Questions like: “Do you have any _________ color cards?” - Asking only if the have a certain color. “Do you have any Oil of Boil?” -Asking only if they have a certain ingredient. So one person asks a question & everyone answers yes or no. Then the person that asked the question lays down one card from their hand & picks up a new ingredient card. You take turns doing that until you can stun one of the witches. Once you get a certain set it will stun a particular witch & the sun is closer to rising. If you run out of ingredient cards before the sun rises (playing 3 rounds) then the Sanderson Sisters have won. There is other things that adds/changes up the game a bit like spell cards, Binx mover, & trick tokens. I added pictures of the instructions because they are long & detailed. I also added a set of each witch stunned & other details. My girls are 8 & 13 years old. They both really enjoyed it. It’s not a long game, but would be fun to play multiple times in a row.

The Sanderson Sisters' potion falls flat!
By Kyle on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2021
Opening Synopsis: I don't like games that are cooperative but you can't talk to each other. It feels weird and just not as fun. This game has that mechanic and thus my mediocre rating. However, my 8 year old enjoyed playing. Here is my rundown of the game for those who may care. Theme - I love the movie and the game does a good job capturing a lot of the movie. - I will play this on Halloween holiday with family just for fun. Components/Artwork - The game is well made with good components. - The artwork is nice and matches the theme of movie - The cards are kinda shiny and more plastic feel. They still shuffle fine, but not my favorite feel. Will protect against little sticky fingers! Game Play/Difficulty - I read the rules in 10 minutes and taught my 8 year old daughter in 10 minutes as well. She picked up on it quickly. My daughter really liked the game even though we lost our first game together. - There is enough strategy, but a fair amount of luck is present in the game as well. Summary : Worth it for the theme if you really are interested, but the game wasn't as fun as I was hoping.
