The cards themselves are all based upon ingredients mentioned or used within the actual film script as are the potentially chaotic spells that the sisters use against you should you play ingredient cards bestowed with a spell book icon. Players must match played ingredient cards into the cauldron in hope of stunning a witch and progressing the timeline until dawn arrives with victory. The board itself centers around the witches’ cauldron, within which they brew a terrible potion to steal the life force of the local children.
