Rival medieval alchemists compete to publish profitable potion recipes and outscore each other before ingredients run dry. ()

Gameplay

You spend colored cubes to publish a recipe, claim a numbered scoring tile, and take new cubes, while others can repeat your recipe to gain the same rewards and pay you one ingredient. The tension is timing and denial—choosing recipes and colors that score now while setting traps opponents are forced to copy.
