About the game

What you do in a play session

In The Witches: A Discworld Game, you step into Terry Pratchett's magical and hilarious world as a witch-in-training in Lancre. Your job? Handle everything from sick pigs to elf invasions using a peculiar mix of magic, reverse psychology (the famous 'headology'), and of course, a nice cuppa tea. The game blends cooperation and competition: while everyone must work together to prevent disasters, each witch wants to prove they're the best. The board is packed with iconic characters like Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, ready to lend a hand (or a broom). With mechanics ranging from dice rolls to crisis management, every game is a unique adventure. And when things get tough, nothing beats a tea break! Playable solo, cooperatively, or with a dash of rivalry – perfect for Discworld fans or anyone who loves thematic games oozing with personality.
