Using the Magic Mixies Surprise Cauldron Game is super easy. First, set up the game mat and put the spinner board in place. Place the cauldron in the center and distribute the 16 potion ingredients around the board. Each player gets a Mixling mover. Spin the spinner and move your Mixling mover around the board to collect ingredients. When you place the ingredients in the correct position, a Mixie will magically pop up from the cauldron. Remember, the position that makes the Mixie pop changes each time you play. After the game, gently place the Mixie back into the cauldron to reset it for the next play. As for maintenance, keep the game away from water and rough handling. If there are any spills on the game mat, wipe it clean with a dry cloth. Store all the pieces in a box to avoid losing them. Enjoy playing this magical game with your friends and family!
