Whirling Witchcraft review

Whirling Witchcraft is a delightful game that brings a touch of whimsy to the table. I was immediately drawn to its charming artwork and the promise of brewing potions. While the rules might seem a bit convoluted at first, once you get the hang of it, Whirling Witchcraft is surprisingly accessible and engaging.

I found the "engine building" mechanics to be particularly fun, as you strategically combine recipes and ingredients to create a powerful potion-making engine. The variety of witches and their unique powers add a layer of strategy and replayability.

However, I do have a few minor gripes. The instructions could be clearer, and the Arcana mechanic feels a bit underdeveloped. I also felt that the cardboard cauldrons, while aesthetically pleasing, made the box unnecessarily large. I'd prefer more practical solutions like plastic trays.

Despite these minor drawbacks, Whirling Witchcraft is a fantastic game for families and friends. It's quick to learn, plays fast, and is always a blast. If you're looking for a fun, engaging, and thematic game that doesn't require a huge time commitment, give Whirling Witchcraft a try. You won't be disappointed.
