Apotheca

Players craft potions in a secret marketplace represented by a 4x4 grid. Facedown potions conceal their ingredients as players reveal them, collect colored gems, restock the board, use apothecary powers, and hire new apothecaries. Players score by matching three potions of the same color in a row. Each match is placed on an apothecary, disabling that character’s power for the rest of the game. Deduction, spatial positioning, bluffing, and misdirection help players create matches while disrupting their opponents; the first player to make three matches wins.

Broken. If your turn can be to draw a tile and if you are lucky you can immediately fulfil a goal it's just broken. Was this ever playtested?
