The Witches (Discworld Boardgame)

The Witches is set in the magically charged land of Lancre. Players take on the role of trainee witches, such as Tiffany Aching and Petulia Gristle, learning their craft and dealing with all the problems that life on Discworld can throw at them. Our heroines will tackle everything from a sick pig to a full-blown invasion of elves - life can be tough for a young witch in Lancre! Fear not however, as an array of Discworld\'s most famous characters will be on hand to aid your quest. Along the way you�ll meet the guiding forces of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick, along with a rich supporting cast of familiar faces from Terry Pratchett�s bestselling Discworld series. Compete with your fellow \'hags\' to master the witches\' craft, and cooperate to prevent crises from escalating into catastrophes. Most problems can be solved with a little headology and a nice cup of tea, although at times you must resort to magic, but beware - too much may cause you to turn \'Black Aliss\'. The Witches can be played with up to four players, competitively, co-operatively, or even played solitaire.
The Witches is the second Discworld game from Martin Wallace and explores another corner of Discworld, where our brave heroines are forever on call to impart their wisdom, and battling evil is just part of the job.
