Description

In Alchemy!, you and up to 7 friends become competing apprentice alchemists, all vying to impress your master by being the first to complete a set of potions in a shared laboratory space. With easy-to-learn rules, this 45-minute game is perfect for a fun night in with friends or family. Every turn, you'll draw cards and 'transmute' components from a shared pool to produce elements like earth, air, fire, and water, which can then be combined to match the formulas on the potion cards. As you play, you'll need to balance your own progress with the need to sabotage your opponents, all while navigating the unpredictable interplay between the different potions. With a new set of randomized potions each game, every match feels fresh and exciting, requiring a mix of strategic planning and clever tactical moves. Will you focus on earning victory points, or try to get ahead by drinking your completed potions and unleashing their powerful effects on your opponents? With its unique blend of pattern building and take-that gameplay, Alchemy! is a thrilling and unpredictable ride that's sure to delight fans of card games, fantasy, and party games alike.
