What to Expect
You play as an apprentice in an alchemist's sanctum, working independently to impress a mentor while drawing from a shared pool of experiments, artifacts, and dice. The publisher description emphasizes a common pool and parallel individual development. Expect tactical die selection and tableau optimization rather than pure luck.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at experienced players and roll-and-write fans: the designers Federico Pierlorenzi and Daniele Tascini offer a mechanically focused experience. The game supports solo play (1 player), so it's also suitable for solo gamers. Prior experience with dice drafting or roll-and-write mechanics speeds up learning.
How It Works
The core combines Dice Rolling with Open Drafting: players choose dice and items from a shared supply and place results on personal sheets. Choices center on which experiments or artifacts to take and how to use selected dice efficiently. Rounds proceed in parallel while each player advances their own tableau and scoring opportunities.
What Makes It Special
