About the game
When the moon rises, the witches gather for a friendly strife: They exchange crystals for ingredients, with which they conjure spells. For successful spells, they gain magic. Who will be able to gather the most magic the fastest? Witchcraft is a quick card game, where 2-6 witches compete in conjuring. The six witches each have different starting abilities. During the game, they take turns and exchange crystals for ingredients, which they need for their spells. They can also buy new spells or gain familiars to help them in their endeavours. For each spell they cast, witches gain magic. Whoever is first to gather 20 magic, wins the game. —description from the publisher
