Category: BOARD GAMES

Welcome to the world of Alchemists! Perform experiments to discover the magical properties of your ingredients. Demonstrate your knowledge by selling potions. Use the money to buy artifacts that further your research. Publish, publish, publish! Earn grants. And expose the fallacies published by those fools who think they can be your rivals.

Alchemists is a game of strategy, risk assessment, and deduction. Do you experiment to get more knowledge or do you publish now to get more points? Pay to endorse the latest theory of toads or save your money for an artifact? And should you really be selling that potion to the large axe-wielding barbarian when you aren't quite sure of its effects? The choices you make will prove whether you are the world's greatest alchemist.

This game is designed to be played using an app that turns your tablet or smartphone into an ingredient card reader. The app is available for free. Supported operating systems are: iOS, Android, Windows.

Claire ★★★★★

Selling potions to fund artifact purchases is such a clever loop, and deducing ingredient properties on that deduction grid never stops being satisfying. Our group's first play ran long since everyone kept second-guessing their experiments, but nobody wanted to stop.

Ryan G. ★★★★★

I've never played anything that turns actual logic puzzles into a board game this well. Mixing ingredients to test theories and then publishing your findings before anyone else feels genuinely tense. The artifact cards that let you bend the rules add just enough chaos.

Michael X. ★★★★★

The deduction mechanic where you rule out ingredient properties one by one kept the whole table arguing for an hour straight, in the best way. Teaching it took a bit of patience, but once everyone grasped the logic puzzle it clicked fast. Easily the most brain-burning game on my shelf right now.
