About the game
What you do in a play session
In Hexen Cocktail, you're a student at the prestigious Witch Academy, trying not to be the worst in Potions class. The challenge? Brew magical potions without making your cauldron explode! Each player adds ingredients to brewing potions, but one wrong move can lead to a spectacular explosion and penalty points. The trick is to carefully manage your cards: you'll need to match colors and values to avoid disasters, but you can also sabotage others (if it's strategic, of course). With simple hand management mechanics and quick 15-minute games, it's perfect for those who enjoy light games full of interaction and a touch of controlled chaos. Who will be the most skilled witch — or the clumsiest?
