Little Alchemists

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Alchemist apprentices brew potions and work on discovering secrets of alchemy.

2-4 Players | 15-30 Mins | Ages 7+

Features: Contracts, Deduction, Hand Management, Open Drafting

Theme: Deduction, Fantasy, Puzzle

Will you surpass your teachers' knowledge and grow up to become the best alchemists in the land? Let's find out! It's time to grab your potion ingredients, sharpen your deduction skills, and get mixing!

Little Alchemists is a family-friendly deduction game that's designed to grow with the curious minds of young players. The game starts with simple concepts and mechanisms; you'll start by gathering and combining ingredients for brewing potions to sell. However, as you collect keys by achieving your potion-making goals, you'll unlock new chapters that gradually add more components, mechanisms, and complexity to the experience.

Not sure how to make potions? No sweat! Potion craft takes mere seconds with the free Little Alchemists companion app. To make a potion, players select two ingredient tiles, then scan them using the companion app loaded onto a tablet or smartphone. This reveals the combined result and lets players acquire and mark the corresponding potion knowledge on their secret player board.

With each potion you make, you'll begin to discover the secrets that lie at the heart of alchemy. Players will have to use clever deductions to figure out the arcane properties of each ingredient, then they can use that knowledge to their advantage throughout the game!

Over the course of seven chapters that unlock over multiple playthroughs, players will learn and master many new facets of the alchemy trade, preparing them for what's to come. Each chapter is designed as a replayable experience that expands on the previous chapter, with new layers of game mechanisms that add more subtle depth and complexity over time. Also, fully exploring the world of Little Alchemists will introduce you to many of the concepts from and better prepare you for the original Alchemists game.

Features:

  • Gather ingredients, and brew and sell potions, all based on experimentation and ingredient deduction
  • Scan ingredients to craft unique potion combinations with a tablet or smartphone
  • Unlock new chapters across multiple replays — each layers on new mechanics and complexity to expand the core experience
  • A great primer on the basic concepts of Alchemists — once you’ve mastered Little Alchemists, you should be ready to try out the original euro game!

Components:

  • game board
  • 4 screens with shelves for scanning ingredients
  • 4 (double layered) markup triangles
  • potion markup tokens
  • 36 ingredient tiles
  • 4 customer tiles
  • coin tokens
  • 4 plastic flasks in player colours
  • rulebook
  • 6 boxes with surprise content that expand the game
