North Star GamesThe Quacks of Quedlinburg - The Herb Witches

Great edition to the Quacks of Quedlinburg game. This IS NOT a standalone game. You must have the base game (Quacks of Quedlinburg) in order to play this. If you’re like me and you’ve played your games many, many times over, they can get a bit stale. Even if you don’t use the Locoweed book or the Witches themselves (Hocus Pokus anyone???) the added replay ability of the additional books for the preexisting ingredient types is enough of a reason to get this expansion. Plus it adds a 5th player option.Side note: do yourself a favor and visit the boardgamegeek store and get the GeekUp bits and upgraded cloth bags for this game. It makes it soooooooooooo much nicer. Worst case just get the upgraded bags. I found the consistency much better on subsequent play throughs.

When I first heard of Quacks, I dismissed it because... honestly... "Quacks of Quedlinburg?? You've got to be kidding!"But give it a try. The game is awesome, endlessly variable, and loads of fun on game night.

Instant family favorite. Bought the expansion within a couple weeks we liked it so much. Now it's going to be a part of our annual family boardgame tournament. Kinda like deck building with the trill of the push your luck mechanic. Enough stategy for the adults while having enough luck to give the kids a shot once in a while.

This expansions was easy to learn, and upgrades the game in an interesting way. The pieces were of high quality, the thickness of the cardboard matched the base game as well as the sheerness of the punch out. A great addition to a great game.

Great addition to an awesome game. In my top 5!Production quality is great and easy to learn and teach.
