About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture this: you and your crew have just plundered an epic dungeon, and after a struggle to crack the lock, the surprise is revealed! Instead of gold coins, you find a massive stash of mysterious potions. This is where the chaos of Brewitched begins. Now, the challenge is to figure out which of these liquids are powerful, valuable potions and which are actually bizarre curses that will drive everyone crazy.

The game works as a test of courage and cunning. You'll need to manage your action points to smell, switch, drink, or simply discard the potions. But it's not just about luck; each player takes on one of eight characters, each with special abilities that can turn the tide of the game in your favor. The great twist is that the curses don't just stay on the board: they manifest in real life, creating hilarious situations that will be talked about for weeks.

A fundamental point: while Brewitched is widely known as a 'drinking game,' it is totally flexible. If you want to have a drinks night with friends, it's perfect. But if you're playing with family, minors, or the designated driver, just ignore the alcohol part and focus on the fun and funny penalties. The experience remains chaotic and light, focusing on social interaction and those genuine laughs that only happen when someone 'drank' the wrong potion.

With fast-paced matches and easy-to-memorize rules, it's the kind of game you pull off the shelf to hype up the crowd without needing hours of explanation. It's pure medieval adventure simulation where luck and mischief go hand in hand. Prepare your glass (or your courage) and try to survive this alchemical feast without losing your sanity!
