The Potion

Players: 3-7
Ages: 8+
Time: 10 Minutes

Each alchemist starts with the same basic ingredients; 2 rare mushrooms, 2 secret liquid vials and 2 poisonous beetles. In a match of wit and bluff, they compete to get rid of their ingredients and control the final potion. Closely watching each other’s move and expression, will you prevail in this unique and original game of deception? Object of the game: be the first player left with only one type of ingredient in their possession. A player will roll the dice to determine the ingredients players will be bidding on. Players secretly choose one ingredient from their palm and place it in their other hand. Once all players have made their choice, everyone reveals their selected ingredient. Players who meet the winning conditions set by the dice may discard their ingredient and place it into the bottle. If a player has revealed an ingredient that does not appear on the face of any die, and none of the ingredients revealed by the other players meet a winning condition, that player discards their ingredient into the bottle. For 3-7 players ages 8 and up. Playing time: 10 minutes.
