Where it came from
Broom Service was published by Ravensburger in 2015 as a reimplementation of the 2008 game Witch's Brew. Designed by Alexander Pfister and Andreas Pelikan, the game was developed to capture the frantic, high-stakes spirit of its predecessor while introducing a more streamlined board mechanic and a more whimsical, family-friendly aesthetic. The title centers on a pick-up-and-deliver mechanism where players navigate a map to fulfill potion orders, relying on a unique risk-reward system that forces them to choose between playing cards bravely for a full reward or cautiously to ensure their action takes place.
The game received significant acclaim upon its release, notably winning the Kennerspiel des Jahres award in 2015 for its clever design. Critics praised the balance of the 'brave or cowardly' mechanic, which forces players to anticipate their opponents' moves in a way that feels dynamic and social. The artwork, characterized by vibrant colors and playful illustrations, helped move the brand away from the more austere European board game aesthetic, firmly establishing it as a hallmark of Ravensburger's modern strategic catalog.
