Description

The Witches is set in the magically charged land of Lancre. Players take on the role of trainee witches, such as Tiffany Aching and Petulia Gristle, learning their craft and dealing with all the problems that life on Discworld can throw at them. A subtle blend of headology, magic and, of course, the all-important cup of tea will see our heroines tackle everything from a sick pig to a full-blown invasion of elves.

Life can be tough for a young witch in Lancre, fear not however, a cast of some of Terry Pratchett’s most famous characters will be on hand to aid your quest. Along the way you’ll meet Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick, along with a rich supporting cast of familiar faces from some Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld series. When things get really tough and you feel you are turning ‘Black Aliss’ you can always have a cup of tea with one of your fellow witches. The game can be played with up to four players, and can even be played solitaire.

The Witches is more of a gentle family friendly game, well, as friendly as you can get with Nac Mac Feegles hanging around, rather than the back-stabbing experience that is Ankh-Morpork, and can be played cooperatively if players so wish. Once again Sir Terry Pratchett and the folks at the Discworld Emporium have made sure that each character is faithfully represented, with all of the artwork being produced by Peter Dennis.

The main differences between this version and the standard version are:

  • Four custom sculpted pewter figurines, representing the four witch characters.
  • An A1 size poster presenting artwork from the game.
  • A larger map.
  • Different cover artwork and box size.

    The figurines vary between 40mm and 50mm in height. They have been hand-polished and finished with a black ink. A cloth bag will be included in the game for their storage. These figures will not be available to buy separately. The figurines have been sculpted by Anton Ducrot.
