About the game

A strategy card game! A Wet, Hectic free for all! A Card Comboing BREW-HA-HA! PotionSlingers can be described as a delicious combat cake. It is coated with a colorful frosting of vibrant slapstick humor, with a veneer of ancient alchemy. Bizarre items litter this junkyard market that is now your playground; grab all sorts of dastardly mixes and throw them directly into your opponent's buffoonish faces! Wring them out of as many essence cubes as you can, and prove who is a REAL PotionSlinger around these parts! Win the game by collecting the most essence cubes; either by eliminating your opponents or performing tricks, and both by slinging at your opponents! Players take turns buying cards from a communal market to add them to their decks, and dealing damage to their opponents with their cards. At the start of every turn, players are given a stipend, and fill their tableau with cards they collect in their deck. Then they are free to buy and sell items, combine cards, and manage their tableau/deck.
