The Potion
Players take on the roles of alchemists competing to complete a final potion using rare mushrooms, liquid vials, and poisonous beetles. Each round, the active player rolls dice to determine the ingredients being sought. Players secretly choose an ingredient, reveal their choices simultaneously, and compare the type and quantity revealed with the dice result. Those who meet the winning condition discard their ingredient into the bottle, while the others keep theirs. The dice pass clockwise as players try to get rid of their ingredients through deduction and bluffing.

Badger285.5 Tried @Play2019 Nothing against fillers, but this tiny game is REALLY too simple. Lacks some small twists to make it enjoyable more than once or twice.
