You lead a coven of witches on an expedition into the Ninth, an unfamiliar realm. Explore its lands, discover sites for villages, and gather resources while hostile creatures threaten your settlement.
Play by placing and combining cards to explore, construct buildings, produce resources, trade, and fight. Arrange workers and cards to keep your villages running, and manage relationships with neighboring covens through trade, gifts, alliances, or war.
Research unlocks spells, buildings, and units that expand your coven’s capabilities. Choose a witch whose unique abilities shape your strategy, build up your familiars and defenses, and work toward earning boons from the Council of Fates. A peaceful mode lets you play without the constant threat of extinction.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the card-based resource and village management, describing its build-and-expand loop as satisfying, absorbing, or relaxing. The cute witch-themed art and music, accessible pace, and differences between the playable witches also receive praise. Some players find the later stages repetitive or tedious, especially when managing a crowded card board.
