Hansel and Gretel have gotten lost in the woods and find themselves in front of an incredible gingerbread house crammed with sweets and candies — but is that a witch inside? Help them find their way home! Each turn in the co-operative game Hansel & Gretel, the active player places one of their tiles in the playing area to create and finish sweets, but after everyone has placed their tile for the turn, count the visible dots on these tiles to determine the movement of the three characters — Hansel, Gretel, and the witch — on the path around the gingerbread house. Take care with your tile placement so that the witch never reaches Hansel or Gretel and so that Hansel or Gretel never catch up to the witch; if either of those situations happens, you lose. To win, you must keep racing until you collect all five gingerbread tokens.
