You can now get a Hocus Pocus board game and it will cast a spell on you

We’ll always have a spot in our hearts for Hocus Pocus.

It’s been a little more than 25 years since the magical movie, starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters, hit the big screen.

And with the most spooktacular time of the year around the corner, we have found the perfect Hocus Pocus-themed piece to really get you in the festive spirit.

Disney have released a Hocus Pocus board game that will totally put a spell on you — and, naturally, Binx is involved.

Hocus Pocus: The Game is described as a “cooperative game of magic and mayhem”, and suits between two to six players. 

“In this cooperative card game, players work together to protect Salem’s children and stop the Sanderson sisters from completing their wicked potion before the sun rises,” the description reads.

“Play potion ingredients to the cauldron and match all the colours or ingredients. Binx will offer a helping hand, while Winifred, Mary, and Sarah cast spells to thwart your plans. Use tricks like Burning Rain of Death and Billy Butcherson to help you along the way.”

The game includes one cauldron board, 50 Ingredient cards, a Witch board, 13 Spell cards, a Sun token, 4 trick tokens, a rulebook, and one black cat Binx meeple.

Now for the slightly complicated part.

We haven’t found anywhere that sells the game in Ireland yet, but it is available in the United States — and can be shipped over no problem, for a small cost.
