Broom Service (2-5 players) is basically Kiki’s Delivery Service: the game. Each player has two witches they move around a map, delivering potions to wizards in their towers to gain points. It’s great fun, especially with 4-5 players.

Each round, you’ll choose 4 (out of your 10) cards. The starting player chooses one of their cards to execute, claiming either the top “Brave” or bottom “Cowardly” action. Each player who chose that card this round must execute theirs in order as well. If you choose cowardly, you immediately do a weaker version of the action. If you choose brave, your action can be stolen by a following player who chose the same action and also choose to go brave.

Actions are things like moving into certain types of territories, getting potions, delivering potions, and dispelling clouds with wands. Clouds block your path and are worth points at the end. Some towers can only be delivered to once, while others want potions over and over.

Choosing what actions to take each round and when to take them is the strategy of the game. You have to pay attention to what your opponents are doing and try to bluff them into being scared to take brave actions. Event cards add more scoring opportunities each round as well. After 7 rounds, whoever has the most points wins!

Broom Service is a great game. It looks charming and friendly but to win you have to be sharp in your choices. The gameplay is smooth and easy since all the actions are written on the cards. And who doesn’t love cute witches?! It’s definitely worth checking out!

With it being Halloween, there were lots of treats and some very fine spooky-themed attire to go along with the “Feature Game“, Betrayal at Mystery Mansion.  This is a Scooby-Doo themed re-implementation of Betrayal at House on the Hill, a semi-cooperative game, where players work together until there is a haunting and one player takes on the role of the bad guy.  So, the first task for the…

Anyone else have a “problem” with identifying which territory some towers are in while playing this game. I think the graphic design of the board could use a little tweaking.
