Alchemists

Today I finally received my new cauldron. That's it, my lab is up and running! I had been harvesting and drying ingredients for days... I wonder which ones I'm going to mix to begin with! My intuition pushes me to mix raven feathers with a mandrake root, but as people swear by the pustules of toads ... And then heck, why listen to them? It's my lab, it's my research! I'm doing what I want! As soon as I publish my theories, no one will look at me wrong. I am determined to prove that I am the greatest genius in the history of alchemy. Now it's time to light my fire and get to work. Wealth, fame and knowledge are within my reach, carpeted somewhere in the dark background of this cauldron.

2 to 4 players will play as beginner alchemists competing hard to discover the secrets of this mystical art.
Different paths will lead to victory, but publishing his Theories is certainly the best way to win... if they prove to be accurate! And that's the problem...
Players gain knowledge by mixing Ingredients and testing results from an app (on tablet or smartphone) to scan and recognize game cards. They will gradually deduce how to make the Potions that they can sell to the Raiders. The Gold Coins thus won can be used to buy Magic Artefacts, very expensive but very powerful. The Reputation of players will evolve with their publications, but may also fall if their Theories prove to be wrong. At the end of the game, reputation, Artifact Value and Grants obtained will be converted to Victory Points. The player with the most Victory points will be declared the winner.

Alchemists is a game of strategy, risk-taking and deduction. Will you take the time to push your experiments and check your theories, or will you hurry to publish to quickly gain reputation? Will you pay to confirm the latest toad theory, or keep your money to buy an artifact? Is it really wise to sell a potion to this heavily armed barbarian when you are not quite sure of its effects?
Make the right choices and prove to everyone that you are the greatest alchemist in the world.

This game is intended to be played with an app that turns your tablet or smartphone into an Ingredient card reader. This app is completely free. Compatible systems: iOS, Android, Windows.
