Toadstools for the magic SOUP

So nice that it is presented again in its new edition:

From deep within the forest you hear whispering and voices; when you get nearer you can distinguish the voices of the witches and learn that they are lacking toadstools for their magical soup. Seven toadstools are necessary to complete the recipe. So, players in lieu of the witches go searching for the coveted toadstools.

The board is equipped with the turntable and the wooden toadstools. Each player chooses one witch.

Then you roll the die in turn and the active player pulls a toadstool out of the hole. When the color on the die corresponds to the color in the hole underneath the toadstool, you may keep the toadstool and place it on your cauldron next to your witch on the board. Should the color in the toadstool hole and on the die not correspond, you put the toadstool back into its hole. Of course, players try to remember the color beneath the toadstool and to use this knowledge when they roll this color later in the game. If you are first to fill your cauldron with seven toadstools, you win!

For older witch-cooks you can create a more difficult game by moving the turntable by 180 degrees / half a turn; this moves the color dots and makes memorizing and finding them again more difficult.

Happy Magic offers a wonderful game with extremely simple means; it trains a lot of abilities – color recognition, memory, concentrating and also concentrating on a goal to achieve. The toadstools are exceedingly pretty, together with the green turntable they create the impression of a forest clearing. All in all, a must have for each shelf of children games.
