Whirling Witchcraft

Players are witches managing limited workbenches of five ingredient types and a hand of recipe cards. Each round everyone simultaneously selects and reveals a recipe, then may use any or all revealed recipes once to convert and combine ingredients on their workbench. When finished, players place the resulting ingredients into a cauldron and pass it to the right; the recipient must fit those ingredients onto their workbench, returning any overflow to the original player’s Witch’s Circle. If a player accumulates five or more ingredients in their Witch’s Circle, the game ends and that player wins. The game includes unique personality cards for asymmetrical starting ingredients and powers, bidirectional recipes, and arcana symbols that grant bonuses when collected.
