About this board game

Welcome to the whimsical world of Broom Service, a beautifully illustrated and engaging board game where players become witches, druids, and gatherers, traversing through an enchanting forest, delivering potent potions via magical broomsticks.

In this captivating setting, players are tasked with the mission to collect valuable resources from the landscape, create bewitching potions, and deliver them to various locations scattered across the game board. The game unfolds across a vibrant map, filled with towering mountains, dense forests, and mysterious clouds.

Broom Service is driven by a unique combination of card-driven mechanics and risk management. The core of the game revolves around a deck of role cards, each with a ‘brave’ action and a ‘cowardly’ action. On their turn, players choose a role card from their hand and decide whether to play it safe and take the cowardly action, or risk it all and try for the more rewarding brave action. But be warned, if another player also chose the same role and plays it after you, they can steal the brave action, leaving you with nothing.

What makes Broom Service truly unique is this blend of strategy, bluffing, and guessing. It encourages players to predict their opponents’ moves, adding a layer of psychological intrigue to the game. Will you play it safe or bluff your way to victory?

Further strategic depth is added through the use of event cards, which introduce unexpected twists and turns each round, and magic wands, a limited resource that allows players to secure the brave action of a role card without risk.

The game is not just about delivering potions though. There are also opportunities for exploration. Players can venture into the mysterious clouds that cover parts of the board, revealing additional scoring opportunities or useful bonuses.

Broom Service provides a deeply engaging and strategic experience, wrapped in a charming theme. The blend of risk-taking, resource management, and strategic planning ensures that no two games are the same, providing endless replayability.

So, ready your brooms, brew your potions, and embark on a magical journey in the world of Broom Service!
