Saus und brau’s

First she breezes, then she brews!

Winnie the Whirling Witch whirls across foliated forests and toad ponds on the board and collects ingredients for her potions, but they are scattered helter-skelter all over the board; however, Winnie can only collect them in a fly-by, if she has the right spell available. Foldable witch books are added to the board face-down, two ingredients are placed on each of the ingredient slots, and Winnie is placed into the middle hole of the board.

The active player pushes at Winnies broom with the wand - she whirls. When she stops, she „flies“, that is, the player moves her into the direction, indicated by the broom, to the next hole. If she passes over an ingredient, she stops at the hole; if not, she keeps flying from hole to hole until she passes over an ingredient, but never the same lap twice in a turn. To collect the ingredient she passed, you must fold over the correct witch book to show the same ingredient. If it shows the ingredient, you take it from the board for your own cauldron; if not, you relocate the ingredient; a slot can carry maximum three of them. For Salamander or Snake, you must fold over two books simultaneously to show Snake or Salamander twice. If you fail, you relocate the ingredient and swap the folded-over witch books. If you are first to have five ingredients in your cauldron - you can have the same one more than once - you win.

A really ingenious game, this whirling witch! Nothing is really new, but all has been enchantingly varied; instead of a spinner you have whirling Winnie, instead of simple tiles you have the fold-over spell books - a really marvelous version of the standard memo mechanism.
