Chemical Overload

A deck-building and tableau-building alchemy adventure. Combine chemicals with flasks of the correct size to brew potions, then use their effects to gain gold, Alchemy Points, stronger chemicals, and more powerful potions. Manage toxic fumes as they trigger toxin cards and eventually end the exam. Newly gained cards are placed on top of the draw pile, while flasks and ongoing potions remain in the tableau. Players choose which unused cards to keep or discard each round, planning around their next draws. The alchemist with the most Alchemy Points wins.
