Switchy-Witchy 2026

Bubble bubble, toil and trouble. Bring your ingredients to the cauldron and see what potions you can create from Eye of Newt, Wool of Bat, Scale of Dragon, and Bladder of Cherry.

Switchy-Witchy is a game of ingredients and potions. Each ingredient collected can lead to potions and even points. Players will find plenty of challenge adding to their cottage, managing their yard, and seeing if they can be the best witch!

Players will need to familiarize themselves with the areas of play below:

On your turn, you'll begin by drawing a card, either the top of the deck or the top of the discard pile. At the end of the turn you'll have to discard a card. But in between, that's where the magic happens.

You'll combine ingredients to form bundles of sets or runs that will score points at the end of the hand. You'll pass your ingredient from the yard to an opponent, or use it your self to make a bundle of run or set. You may even get to craft a potion with powerful effects!

Might I add that potions are also worth 7 points at the end of the hand. Play your cards right for maximum points with each card in a set being worth 1 point and each card in a run being worth 2 points.

If you do find yourself able to craft a potion, you'll have to discard that set or run, which might gradually get picked up by your opponents and used on you! (The video has this wrong, sorry about that, I did not discard the runs when I picked up the potions).

Gather your ingredients, but remember that you may have some Switchy-Witches at the table looking to trade!
