2-4 alchemists compete to match the most potions by shape in their apothecary. Discard cards from your hands to perform to perform actions such as breaking other player's potions, drawing cards, adding broken potions from the discard, and much more. Can you brew a win against opposing alchemists?
Gameplay Rules
-Separate the potions from the Action Cards
-Shuffle the deck of 40 potion cards and pass out 6 cards to each player (this is your hand), then place the remaining cards facedown in a reachable area; this is the deck
-Pass out 1 Action Card to each player
-The player who most recently watched a movie about magic goes first
-Each player can perform up to as many actions as they can (except breaking potions and preventing breaking potions) by discarding cards from their hand (this will be listed on the Action Card)
-When a player uses a Placement action, set the Potion facedown in front of you; this area is known as the Apothecary (a player can have as many potions as possible in their Apothecary)
-When your turn ends, draw 2 cards (there is no hand limit)
-The player who can match 5 of the same potion shapes in their Apothecary wins OR the player with the most matching potion shapes in their potion shape sets (see Note section) in their Apothecary when the deck has expired twice wins.
