In Magic Mountain, you and your friends are sorcerers' apprentices trying to escape a mountain before the witches catch up. The game is a race against time, where you use colored marbles (the will-o'-the-wisps) to move the characters. Each time you release a marble, it rolls down the mountain and may push an apprentice or a witch forward. The goal is to get four apprentices to the bottom of the mountain before three witches make it there. The mechanics are simple and fun, but there's an element of unpredictability that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. You can adjust the game's difficulty to make it more challenging or play competitively, where each team tries to get their apprentices to safety first. With 3D components and a charming theme, Magic Mountain is perfect for young players and families.
