About the game
The best alchemists around the globe have reunited to brew the perfect potion! Add the Magic Scroll' expansion to your copy of The Potion to play the new co-operative mode. Try to match the recipes on the dice in order to get rid of your ingredients. If you fail doing so, you will ruin the potion and have to start again! Players cannot speak. They must use their deduction skills to choose the right ingredients to match what the potion requires to be brewed. Each time a player fails matching the recipe, they put their ingredient beside the bottle. Each time they succeed, they place it inside the bottle. Win the game by having one alchemist within the group left with only one type of ingredient in hand. However, the more ingredients you put in the bottle, the better the potion you will create...

The Potion: Magic Scroll supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for The Potion: Magic Scroll is 10–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Potion: Magic Scroll for ages 8 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.
The Potion: Magic Scroll belongs to these categories: Party Game, Deduction, and Dice. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Cooperative Game, and Rock-Paper-Scissors.

The credited designers of The Potion: Magic Scroll are: Kasper Lapp. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists The Potion: Magic Scroll as an expansion for The Potion.

Check that your edition of The Potion is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
