	Description Edit \| History

Players collect ingredients cards in order to cast spells, and the first player to get rid of all of their spells wins the game. So far so good. The bad news is, the cards require between 1 and 4 ingredients. Spells requiring 3 or 4 ingredients might actually help you win the game. Spells requiring 1 or 2 ingredients cause another player to perform a forfeit, e.g proposing to another player.
