About the game
Potion Panic: Concoction Crafting for the Chaotically Inclined is an easy-to-learn, recipe-building card game where 2-4 players use advanced alchemical aptitude to create curious concoctions such as Hotchie Matcha, Bananarama, or even some Love Potion No. 8-1/2. On their turn players place (prep) cards in a their "workbench", activate (smash) a card in order to use a specific ability, and craft (brew) recipe cards by revealing 3 cards in their workbench area. Players earn shards by completing recipes and the first player to 10 shards wins. It's an all-out-brawl as players race to become the best concoction-crafter and earn the "hoity toity" title of Alchemist a la Mode! -description from designer
