What to Expect
You gather resources from the forest, improve knowledge in potion types, visit the market to trade goods, and brew potions to drink for temporary powers or fulfill travelers' orders. The game uses simultaneous action selection and an action queue where anticipating opponents' goals matters. Over several rounds, players accumulate prestige by completing contracts or using potions strategically.
Who Is This Game For?
Classified as a gamer/enthusiast title, it targets players aged 14+ who enjoy planning and player interaction. With an estimated 90-minute playtime it fits a regular game night. The listed solo mode also makes it suitable for solo players.
How It Works
Core mechanics include Simultaneous Action Selection, Dice Rolling and an Action Queue, with Contracts and Tech-Tree-style progression. Each round players choose actions at the same time, roll dice to resolve resource gains or effects, and place actions into a queue that determines order and outcomes. Contracts provide objectives from travelers while tech tracks unlock stronger potions and abilities.
What Makes It Special
The mix of Dice Rolling and simultaneous action choice, together with an action queue, makes timing and reading opponents strategically important. Designer Grayden Baker is credited; no awards are listed in the provided data. The alchemy theme ties market and contract mechanics into a cohesive economic fantasy experience.
