Each player takes on the role of an aspirant who must prove their skill by brewing as many potions as possible before the council decides who will be chosen. The game is easy to pick up: each round you roll six dice and may re‑roll up to two times. Then you pick a face value and collect all dice showing that number, using them to fill the ingredient slots on your potion sheet. Each potion has a different cost, and completing the more complex ones grants bonuses that make later brews easier. To help, every player has a magical assistant with a special ability that can lower costs or improve results. The push‑your‑luck element appears when you decide whether to use all available dice or stop early to avoid losing a valuable turn. Set collection is also key, as specific ingredient combos award extra points. Playtime is brisk—20 to 45 minutes—and the learning curve is shallow, making it perfect for casual gamers, 2‑4 players, and fans of fantasy themes. Because it’s a print‑and‑play title, you only need paper, a pencil, and the dice—no pricey components. In the end, the player who balances luck, strategy, and their helper’s powers best ends up with the most potent potion in hand. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 2 to 4 players. ### What is the playing time?
