## Description
Las Pruebas Mágicas del Atelier of Witch Hat is a limited edition take on Love Letter that adds variable player powers and alternate win conditions. Set in a magical atelier, each participant plays an apprentice aiming to bring happiness to others by wielding spells represented by cards. At the start, each player receives two cards – the spells they currently know – and on each turn draws a new card from the deck and discards one of the two in hand. The discarded card's effect can protect you, hinder an opponent, or advance a secret mission. Since the apprentices are still learning, picking the right spell at the right moment is key. Besides managing your own hand, you watch opponents' moves and try to deduce the cards they hold; a correct deduction opens chances to eliminate rivals, making them lose study time. The game ends in two ways: if all but one player are eliminated, the survivor wins; or, when the deck runs out, the player with the highest‑value card in hand wins. Components include 16 magic cards, 5 character cards, 8 mission cards, 4 quick‑reference tokens and a rulebook. In just 5‑20 minutes, 2‑4 players can enjoy a fast, light (weight 1/5) bluff‑heavy experience, perfect for fans of deduction and hand‑management with a fantasy flair.
