About the game
Alchemists is a mini-expansion which adds 10 asymmetrical character abilities to Trismegistus: The Ultimate Formula. Setup: (Step 25) When giving each player their Starting Experiments, Masterpiece Experiments, Publications, and Starting Artifacts, also give each player 2 Character cards. (Step 26) When each player secretly chooses their Starting Experiment, Masterpiece Experiment, Publication, and Starting Artifact, they should also select their Character card. Each player should place their chosen Character card face up onto their player board, covering the portrait already there. If their chosen Character card provides a start-of-game benefit, they receive this now. If their chosen Character card provides an ongoing benefit, it remains in effect throughout the game. Originally available as part of the Builders Promo Pack from Dice Tower 2020 Kickstarter campaign. —description from the publisher
