Potions (2008)

About this game

In Potions, everyone is a "wizarding" apprentice competing to become a wizard. The first apprentice to collect five Potion Class Credit Tokens wins. Players collect Potion Class Credit Tokens by being the first to obtain a set of cards that match the potion recipe as instructed by a roll of the potion dice. Watch out for other aspiring wizards – they will try to change the recipe, steal your ingredients, and spill your cauldron.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
