Das Hexenhaus [The Witch's House]

Your task: Break into the witch's house and steal the magic book from the witch... and if possible before the witch comes back. The Witch House is a multi-play variant. You have 4 tasks to complete, and depending on which one you can solve, you have different game endings. So you can find the magic book - but still lose against the witch. In addition, the witch's house can be played as a challenge by 2 groups. One group starts in the left forest, the other in the right. In the middle is the witch's house. Who's in first?
