During the last turn (39:23), Amanda can actually defeat Rahdo. She uses a mandrake produced by one of her potions to activate Crawling Sorcery, then the new mandrake produced by that potion to activate Elixir of the Stars (which also gets rid of one more mushroom), choosing to produce a spider. She uses the 3 spiders she has just produced with those two potions to activate Offering of Spiders, which ultimately creates an additional mandrake. She then also activates Elixir of the Moon, which both uses up an extra frog and creates another ingredient for her cauldron. Since in addition to producing a third mandrake, she has also used up an additional mushroom, they both end up with 5 cubes in their Witch's Circle, causing the two players to go into tiebreakers. Because Amanda activated Elixir of the Moon, she will ultimately win the tiebreaker due to having fewer ingredients on her workbench compared to Rahdo. However, since Rahdo could also have activated his River Incantion, he could have produced an extra red and won regardless.
Hope I am not being rude but Jen in the end could have used the cards you removed which uses mandrake as she generated one and could have won the game by removing one of her reds and overloading you with mandrakes.
This game looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the runthrough Rahdo.

This kind of reminds me of It's A Wonderful World, with more interaction!
This is such an interesting concept!

not rude at all, but a great observation :)
The game looks Fun. I imagine It would work better with more than 2 players.
Wow, Jen is really good.
9:16 Sending 3 spiders, not 4.
note added... thanks
White Elephant: the boardgame? Passive Aggressive Witches?
Not Sure.....what would be a rude comment here?
oh it's amazing the depths of rudeness (to put it mildly) that folks can come up with!
@@rahdo I have always enjoyed your videos. You are very entertaining and informative. Keep up the GREAT gaming work!
