About the game
In Kupferkessel Co., you step into the shoes of a witch or wizard on the hunt for the perfect ingredients for your most potent potions! The game board is a 6x6 grid of ingredient cards, and your journey unfolds along its perimeter. Each turn, you move based on the number of the last card you collected and can then choose an ingredient from the row or column where you land. Be mindful, as the number on the card also dictates your next move, adding a layer of strategy and memory. The goal is to gather sets of four matching ingredients, but having only one of a particular type can cost you negative points. The basic scoring rules are already quite satisfying, but if you crave an extra challenge, you can activate advanced rules with recipe cards that grant end-game bonuses. Keep an eye out for magic icons: a hat or wand grants you an extra turn, while an explosion might hinder your opponent. The game concludes when a row becomes empty, and then it's time to tally the points and see who brewed the best potion! It's a quick game, perfect for those who enjoy a touch of luck, strategy, and a bit of memory, all within about half an hour.
