Genre/Mechanisms:  card game, hand management

Player Count:  1-6

Solo Mode:  yes

Summary:  Players isolate enemies and take turns attacking until they can harvest a body part. Hands, hearts, livers — witches imbue them with magic to make themselves more powerful. Although a group of witches attack the same target, it’s the witch that strikes the killing blow that gets to harvest a body part and imbue it with powerful magic. The witch with the most body parts (spells) wins.

In the new Sickest Witch solo story mode, you play as Emily of Black Branch– a powerful young witch who has learned how to manipulate portals of influence and ingenuity, and take on an apprentice who is not only in need to training, but also looking for revenge. Together, you will hunt town guards and warriors, collecting their body parts, and imbuing them with power.
