About this game

You are first-year apprentice witches taking the final exam in Potion Class. Each player brews in their own cauldron, adding ingredients to meet Recipes for points. But potion brewing is risky: push too far and your cauldron will crash. Cast spells to stabilize your brew—or sabotage rivals and make their cauldrons explode. —description from back of box Recipe Matching Strategy: Build your cauldron with potion cards, match recipe tags, manage stability ranges, and score public recipes before the table changes. Clear 2-Action Turns: Draw from the deck, take a market card, add an ingredient, use a card effect, refresh recipes, or score when your brew is ready. Cauldron Stability Control: Each ingredient can move your stability up or down, so every card choice affects whether your brew stays within the scoring range. Cauldron Stability Control: Each ingredient can move your stability up or down, so every card choice affects whether your brew stays within the scoring range. Made for Game Night: Includes potion cards, recipe cards, cauldron boards, stability tracks, reward cards, and a foldout rulebook for repeat tabletop play. —description from the publisher
