The players take on the roles of wizards, witches, and druids and try to brew the most valuable potions to earn victory points. In addition, the players will try to get other things like wolf blood, snake venom, herb juice, and gold. Proper planning and a bit of luck will ensure a player victory!

The game is played over several sets of rounds. For each set of rounds, the players select 5 role cards from 12 available to use in the set. These cards are played, one at a time, with the players vying to be the one who gets to use the full action of the role or choosing to accept merely the favor of the role. …

Players use the 3 green role cards to get new ingredients.

Wolf keeper, Snake hunter, and Herb collector: depending on the role card won, the player with the full action right, takes either three red (wolf blood), three white (snake venom), or three green (herb juice) drops from the supply in the middle of the table and places them in his play area.

The player(s) who choose the favor by saying, "So be it!", can take either a red, white, or green drop from the supply, depending on the role card played. …
