Witchcraft! is a fast-playing, card-driven solo game where you lead a coven of witches in a fantasy world where magic is real - and so are monsters. Based on the hidden/revealed mechanic of Resist! you decide when to use magic to defeat the challenges you encounter. As you complete missions and defeat enemies, you try to prove to the villagers that magic is not evil and convince a jury that you are protecting the village. Three judges will decide your fate and their conviction is strong. Can you convince them? Or will evil conquer you and the village?

At the start of the game you assemble a coven of witches from families of women, represented by a deck of cards. By selecting multiple witches from a family, you make that family more powerful. Each family focuses on different tasks in the game - revealing challenges, increasing attack power, discovering the judges' beliefs, or capturing familiars to help you in your battle. The battle is real and each of the eight judges faces a different villain. Is it the Headless Horseman, Baba Yaga, the Scarecrow or some other monster? The setup sees you choose three judges, their missions and their unique challenges - offering 56 possible combinations with great variety in the types of challenges and monsters you'll encounter. If you fail two missions or lose five villagers, you lose the game. Even if you beat the missions, you still have to go through the trial and you won't know your fate for sure until you reveal the conviction of the judges and see if you've done enough to convince them.
