Czech Games Edition Inc 00027 Alchemists

Description

A little mandrake root, a little raven's feather. Toss them in the cauldron and see what they make. Should you drink it? Maybe not. After all, that's what students are for. Welcome to the world of Alchemists! Perform experiments to discover the magical properties of your ingredients. Demonstrate your knowledge by selling potions. Use the money to buy artifacts that further your research. Publish, publish, publish! Earn grants. And expose the fallacies published by those fools who think they can be your rivals.Alchemists is a game of strategy, risk assessment, and deduction. Do you experiment to get more knowledge or do you publish now to get more points? Pay to endorse the latest theory of toads or save your money for an artifact? And should you really be selling that potion to the large axe-wielding barbarian when you aren't quite sure of its effects? The choices you make will prove whether you are the world's greatest alchemist.FeaturesCategory - Strategy GamesSub Category - Fantasy, DeductionAges - 13 - 99Players - 2 - 4Play Time - 120 - 180 minutesDesigner - Matus KotryPublisher - Czech Games EditionMechanics - Action Point Allowance SystemAuction Worker PlacementContentsDouble-sided game boardTheory boardExhibition board4 laboratory screens4 results triangles4 player boards6 adventurer tiles2 conference tiles5 grant tiles8 alchemical tokens104 result tokens36 gold piece tokens44 seal of approval tokens6 conflict tokensStarting player token8 Ingredient tilesGamemaster board40 Ingredient cards22 Favor cards18 Artifact cards16 Bid cards8 Plastic beaker figures (2 in each color)24 Plastic cubes (6 in each color)Pad of deduction gridsContainers for tokens rulebook
