About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your potions ready and sharpen your brooms, because 3 Witches is here to spice up your game nights! This isn't just any card game; it's a trick-taking duel where strategy and foresight are key. Right at the start of each round, you'll engage in an auction to see who can predict how many tricks they'll win (out of five). The highest bidder becomes the Lead Witch, tasked with fulfilling their prediction alone. The other two players team up as the Lesser Witches, working together to thwart the Leader or secure their own goals. The Lead Witch plays two cards, but one remains hidden, heightening the suspense! The Lesser Witches combine one card each. The twist here is that two cards of the same rank or suit combine, creating unexpected effects and tense situations. If the Lead Witch perfectly matches the number of tricks they bid on, they earn two fate tokens. If they miss, each Lesser Witch gets one token. The first player to collect five fate tokens is crowned the master witch and wins the game. With quick rounds and straightforward rules, 3 Witches is perfect for those who enjoy card games with a strategic twist and a fun theme, ideal for playing with exactly three people.
