RavensburgerDisney Hocus Pocus Game - Engaging Puzzle for Ages 8 and up | Brain-Boosting Activity | Fun for Fans of Hocus Pocus | Great Gift for Kids and Teens

🔮 “It’s just a bunch of HOCUS POCUS!” 🔮Our family ran amok, amok, amok, amok, trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters from creating their potion. The instructions are a little complicated, but once we got a hang of the game it was very fun & easy! Definitely a must have for a family with kids 7 & up especially if y’all love the movie. The objective is to work together to ruin the Sanderson Sisters’ potion 3 times so the sun comes up on the witches board. You take turns changing the potion in the cauldron until you can stun a witch. However their magic prevents you from sharing your hand so you have to ask each other questions instead.Questions like:“Do you have any _________ color cards?” - Asking only if the have a certain color.“Do you have any Oil of Boil?” -Asking only if they have a certain ingredient.So one person asks a question & everyone answers yes or no. Then the person that asked the question lays down one card from their hand & picks up a new ingredient card. You take turns doing that until you can stun one of the witches. Once you get a certain set it will stun a particular witch & the sun is closer to rising. If you run out of ingredient cards before the sun rises (playing 3 rounds) then the Sanderson Sisters have won. There is other things that adds/changes up the game a bit like spell cards, Binx mover, & trick tokens. I added pictures of the instructions because they are long & detailed. I also added a set of each witch stunned & other details. My girls are 8 & 13 years old. They both really enjoyed it. It’s not a long game, but would be fun to play multiple times in a row.

Was not sure what to expect but this game turned out to be pretty fun!

Disney’s Hocus Pocus board game is a quick, fun game. The rules are easy enough to learn and the cooperative nature of the game makes it a good fit for families with younger kids.While easy to learn the game is challenging and is probably best to play with 3 or 4 people (although we still had fun with just 2 players).

The game comes in a box that looks like a book and all the peices are really cute and very good quality. The instructions are pretty long and a tad bit confusing but I think we got it figured out once we started playing. Only downside is how it was shipped, it got a little dented but I guess not terribly. Also I wish the box had something to keep it closed. I might add a peice of velcro or ribbon.. we will play it but i mostly got it for thr novelty of it. I love this movie and everything Fall!

The game is in a small box so it is easy to store and is lots of fun for the family.

Purchased for daughter's 11yo birthday. Wasn't difficult to learn and the added rule that, while a cooperation game, you're not allowed to share information, added to the fun. Quality is good, the game arrived as expected. Recommended for kids that love the Sanderson sisters.

Opening Synopsis: I don't like games that are cooperative but you can't talk to each other. It feels weird and just not as fun. This game has that mechanic and thus my mediocre rating. However, my 8 year old enjoyed playing.Here is my rundown of the game for those who may care.Theme- I love the movie and the game does a good job capturing a lot of the movie.- I will play this on Halloween holiday with family just for fun.Components/Artwork- The game is well made with good components.- The artwork is nice and matches the theme of movie- The cards are kinda shiny and more plastic feel. They still shuffle fine, but not my favorite feel. Will protect against little sticky fingers!Game Play/Difficulty- I read the rules in 10 minutes and taught my 8 year old daughter in 10 minutes as well. She picked up on it quickly. My daughter really liked the game even though we lost our first game together.- There is enough strategy, but a fair amount of luck is present in the game as well.Summary : Worth it for the theme if you really are interested, but the game wasn't as fun as I was hoping.

Got this for a friend, we just played it and suffice to say, it's much harder than I expected having played other games by this developer. It's a good challenge though, not an impossible chore. I like the art, the rules could be a little clearer and there's a typo on one of the pieces, but we played it twice and we will probably play it several more times. Good for people who actually like board games.
