Fireside Games The Village Crone Board Game | Witch-Themed Strategy & Spell-Casting Game | Worker Placement & Resource Management | 1–6 Players, Ages 13+

Step into the magical medieval world of Wickersby with Fireside Games The Village Crone, a strategic witch-themed board game combining worker placement, resource management, and spell-casting. Players take on the roles of witches competing to become the next Village Crone by gathering ingredients, sending familiars throughout the village, casting spells, and completing challenging Witch’s Scheme cards.

The game features a modular village board, allowing the village layout to be arranged in different configurations for varied gameplay. Players strategically deploy their familiars to collect ingredients such as flour, fire, silver, and soil, which can then be used to perform spells and accomplish objectives.

Use your magical abilities to manipulate villagers, transform them into frogs, move them around the village, create relationships, bind locations, and complete your Witch’s Schemes. Each completed Scheme awards 1, 2, or 3 points depending on its difficulty, and the first witch to reach 13 points becomes The Village Crone.

Designed for 1 to 6 players ages 13 and up, the game offers approximately 90 minutes of strategic gameplay, making it a great choice for game nights, fantasy-themed gatherings, strategy gamers, and players who enjoy unusual themes and tactical decision-making.
