In the 19th century, alchemy was perceived as a mystical science, blending modern discoveries with ancient wisdom. Even after alchemy's golden age, the dream of bending nature's laws and creating the Philosopher's Stone continues to inspire. In 'Trismegistus', you join a new generation of researchers following in the footsteps of the legendary Hermes Trismegistus, seeking forbidden knowledge and power. Your imagination and resolve are unparalleled, and your goal is to uncover ancient mysteries to become the greatest alchemist of all time. Players take on the role of 19th-century scholars who have discovered Trismegistus' notes and attempt to replicate his formula for the Philosopher's Stone. Over three rounds, representing their doctoral studies, they conduct various experiments, acquiring and transmuting metals with the aid of mysterious artifacts. At the game's conclusion, points are awarded based on their published research, their mastery of primal elements, and their progress toward creating the Philosopher's Stone itself. This new edition promises more accessible and less complex game mechanics, making the alchemical journey even more inviting.
