3 Witches (EN)
3 Witches is a trick-taking card game with no trump suit, where every trick is a 2 vs. 1 battle for the cauldron.
How it plays
At the start of each round, players bid on how many of the five tricks they can win. The highest bidder becomes the Lead Witch, and the other two players team up as Lesser Witches.
The Lead Witch plays two cards, one of them face down, while each Lesser Witch plays one card and the two are combined. Ingredients of the same rank or suit are added together, which can lead to tricky situations.
Scoring
If the Lead Witch wins exactly the number of tricks they bid, they take two fate tokens at the end of the round. If not, each Lesser Witch takes one fate token. The first player to collect five fate tokens wins.
