Witch Slapped!

Deep in a dark forest you want to set up your gingerbread house and get started on the local children. There is just one problem: other witches had exactly the same plan. Time to use your magic and claim this forest for yourself. Won't those other witches leave? Then they get a good Witch Slapped! Everyone picks a witch and gets nine lives. You play with cards in your hand and try to grab a set together at top speed. And by top speed we really do mean top speed, because anyone who hesitates too long is left empty-handed. Have you collected enough cards? Then you slap the right card in the middle of the table. After that all witches cast their spell at the same time. Do your numbers add up? Then the spell works. Are you off? Then it goes nicely wrong and you play a trick on yourself. Most spells take lives from your opponents, others protect you instead. Lose all your lives and you are chased out of the forest while the others laugh at you. The last witch left standing wins. For three to six players from nine years and up, and about half an hour full of screaming, slapping and laughing.
