"Cast spells, brew concoctions, melt witches... Use a smidgen of math and a pinch of probability. Capture cards by matching or adding cards from your hand, then count the ingredients and measure the powers. A splash of strategy, and the potion is magic! The player with the highest score wins."


I do not feel it is my job to play with the children. If I had to play with them all day I would have to put them in school. Don't get me wrong. I adore them. But I am not made for games. Except Frog Juice. I really like this game. Especially the "witch wash." Not only is this a reasonably quick and delightfully pleasant game, but it incorporates math and reading. Around here, we call that school.

Frog juice? Did you say FROG juice? My goodness, if you hadn't already won my Giant Frog Head Award, this would have won it for sure. :)

That was very subtle of me, no? ; )

We've been playing this game for a few years now. Sometimes we play that you can add or subtract. Just gives it a twist.
