Parfum

Players compete as perfumers who gather aromatic ingredients and distill essences into flasks. Dice and resource management determine which ingredients (vanilla, lavender, violets, etc.) players collect and when they can craft perfumes. Customers each prefer a specific fragrance; players place matching essences into flasks to satisfy those preferences and score sales.

    Way too much luck involved. It's all about rolling the dice. And you will have one player in your group that is very lucky in this game and that's the one who will win. I would also not recommend it to play with children with a low frustration limit. Because it can easily happen that you roll a lof of misses and if this happens 2-3 rounds in a row also adults getting frustrated. Also the customers who are buying parfums are quite boring. No one asking for mixed ones.

    Two games played so far. Fun game. Only one issue is with the water tokens. Everyone agrees that they should go back into the bag and not be set to the side. Using your tokens for dice rerolls and attempting to get better draws on end-game points seems like a good idea.
