Die kleine Hexe (2007)

Overview

Die kleine Hexe is a game based on the childs book by Otfried Preußler (published in English as: The little Witch). The players move the little witch and her raven Abraxas around to help them do her good works. If they succeed within a set number of rounds, all players win (the player who helped most wins a little bit more). Otherwise, all players lose.

The playing field consists of the inside of the box, which is filled with a number of steeples with loose tops. Above them, held by wooden sticks in the corner of the box, is the (cardboard) sky. The little witch moves on her broom among the churches, held and led by a magnet above the sky.

There are 13 cards (hidden after the games starts) showing the good tasks, each with a colored chip corresponding to a location in the 'city'. In each player turn a task gets selected. The player now has to remember the correct card and fly the little witch between the high church towers to the correct location, without accidentally knocking down one of the tipsy tops.
