Description

Your search for the ultimate prize, the Staff of Merlin, will require you to locate and enlist the help of two other unattached witches to form your Coven of 3. As your coven grows, be aware of the other Covens' increasing size and strength who are also searching for the Staff. You must also fight demons and avoid traps that block the path to your goal.

The game is played on a 5 by 5 grid created from the deck of cards. You move around the board depending on your current level discovering spells and other witches and trying to avoid trouble. As you discover other witches your level increases allowing you to move further and use spells of greater strength.

Use your spells wisely since once used they are out of the game. As the game progresses the board changes with holes appearing when cards are discovered and there are none with which to fill the spaces. Spells will be needed to negotiate the board in the later stages and to keep your opponents from bringing the staff home.
