The listed playing time for Alchemy!: The Ether Expansion is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.

The catalogue lists Alchemy!: The Ether Expansion for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.

Alchemy!: The Ether Expansion belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Party Game. Its main mechanics are Take That and Pattern Building. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

The catalogue lists Alchemy!: The Ether Expansion as an expansion for Alchemy!. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Alchemy! to use it.
