Enter a brand-new world of witches and demons. In Approaching Dawn: The Witching Hour, players are coven members who are blood bound, meaning that what one witch does affects another member of the coven. Black magic begets corruption, which is given to other members; conversely, White magic can heal your own corruption. But both types of magic are used to bind and banish the demons, imps, fey, possessed animals, and warlocks entering our world.
Each witch starts with spells that they know, but throughout the game can gain corruption to learn new spells and get familiars and artifacts. But how they choose to use these new cards each hour — whether as Black or White magic — will determine the successful completion of the scene (mission).
In this cooperative card game, each scene (mission) determines the goal of the game. If the scenes are played in order, they form a story arc, but you can play any scene in any order.

This has just about everything I'm looking for in a medium-weight game. Theme - art - rules: it has it all. It totally delivers on its promise of creating a wild, fun, strategic, co-op. I've rated over 500 games; and this one is my second to earn a 10/10.

The witching hour is a deck building game based on cooperative play in casting spells against fantasy beasties and evil folk. The rules are too numerous and lend to lots of confusion. The general game play has a defensive feel. Pass on this game.
