Short game instructions:
1. Put the magic cauldron in the center of the table. Place the magic potion tiles in the corners, arranged by color. Lay out the bonus tiles face-down. Place 3 magic coins face down in front of you. Place your chosen pieces on the starting column.
2. Players take turns in a clockwise direction: The magic cauldron shows which ingredient (symbol and color) to look for. Turn over 1 bonus tile: depending on whether the color and/or symbol is correct, move forward and skip over any occupied columns.
3. Did you turn over the right bonus? Turn over the magic coin. With 3 magic coins, you get any 1 magic potion tile.
4. Each time you jump over the magic spoon, take the magic potion tile and turn the whirlwind in the magic cauldron.
5. The first player to have three potion tiles of the same color or of three different color wins.

Note from Dragon Cavern – This is the German box cover. Many Haba games come with German titles/boxes – but please note that the majority of Haba games are totally language independent! They come with instructions in multiple languages, so the language on the front of the box is mostly cosmetic and doesn’t affect gameplay.
