About the game

What you do in a play session

Introducing the Ring of Favor, a small promotional gem for those already venturing into the complex world of Alchemists! This artifact card, distributed at buzzworthy events like Essen Spiel and Cannes, adds an extra touch of strategy without overcomplicating things. With it, you gain the ability to double the effect of any Favor card you play, but only once per round. Seems minor? Think again! In a game where every action counts and deduction is key, this doubling can be the edge you need to get ahead, whether it's to acquire rare ingredients, manipulate the market, or even trick your opponents. The card is acquired from the Market for 4 coins and is worth 2 VP at the end. It's the kind of addition that appeals to those who already master the base game and seek that little 'something extra' to spice up their sessions. If you enjoy Alchemists and want a subtle yet powerful advantage, the Ring of Favor is a find. Remember that, as a promotional expansion, it might be a bit harder to track down, but it's worth the hunt for dedicated fans looking to optimize their alchemy and deduction strategies. The Worker Placement, Auction, and Action Points mechanics of the base game remain the same, but this card adds an extra layer of tactical decision-making, especially regarding favor management and play order.
