About the game
It's time for the annual Festival of Wizardry and Witchcraft! Battle against the best wizards and witches in the world to prove you can mix the best potions and become this year's winner! At the start of Elixir Mixer, each player has a hand of five ingredient cards. The elixir cards and ten bonus cards are placed on the table, with six random ingredient cards next to them as a market. On a turn, take one of three possible actions: Draw a card from the deck. Take a card from the market, then refill the market. Place one card from your hand into the market, then take any number of cards so long as their sum equals the card placed, then refill the market. If you have several cards of the same color in your hand and their total value corresponds to the value of the top elixir card of that color, you can discard these cards to collect that elixir. You can create several elixirs in the same turn. End your turn by seeing whether you can claim one of the bonus cards by meeting the depicted requirements, such as an elixir or each color or three purple elixirs. Each collected elixir and bonus card is worth 1 point, and whoever collects 8 points first wins.
