Broom Service

Das Kartenspiel

After Wie verhext! and Broom Service the Board Game now comes Broom Service the Card Game. The topic is the same again - you brew magic potions and „deliver“ them.

In each of four laps you play three to nine rounds. In each round, you choose three different witches from your hand and set the rest aside. Then the starting player chooses one of the three witches and plays her courageously or cowardly. In turn, all other players must, if the hold the same witch, play it and decide on courageous or coward play. If someone chooses courageous, a previously played courageous witch is flipped over and is out of play for the round. Whoever could play courageously last or was first to play cowardly when all played only cowardly, begins a new round, chooses a witch, and so on. When all witches of all players a played, you display open witches and take up face-down ones plus the rest of your previous hand plus three cards from stack and a new lap begins.

At the end of a lap you can fulfill orders on display with witches in your display and take the order for victory points. Several players can complete the same order, but another one is removed from the display. After four rounds, you win with most victory points from potion colors, courage potions on courageously played cards and from orders.

Well, this is the most streamlined and most quickly played of the three versions of the game, the central element, however, of the risk/safety dilemma in playing cowardly or courageously has been admirably incorporated and provides a lovely family game in which you simply have to have courage if you want to win!
