Try to make sure that the sorcerers apprentices move down the mountain faster than the witches in the Magic Mountain game. The gameplay will be easy and enjoyable for younger or older ages as players take turns rolling marbles known as will-o'-the-wisps through the game board. This is a cooperative game, so everyone can strategize together on what paths to send the will-o'-the-wisps on. The goal is to have the will-o'-the-wisps hit sorcerers apprentices to move them further along the game board and onto the goal tile. Though, be sure to plan out each roll accordingly as if the witches reach the goal tile first then your team loses! This is a great game that allows players to plan and work together to achieve the best results. For 2-6 players with a playtime of around 15 minutes.
Publisher's Description of Magic Mountain Game
In this cooperative game, kids and parents work together to save the village from the villains. Players pull a hidden ball out of the bag, then work together to figure out the best route to roll it down the mountain. Every piece it hits moves ahead to the next open space of that color on the track, getting closer and closer to the village. Can you find the right path to get the villagers there before the villains?
