Description

Primary Potions is a colorful light strategy open information card game based around the color wheel. Mix components and use potions to combat your friends to become the Prime Master Alchemist. All the decks are set out in the center for everyone to reach. Alchemists also start with 3 different component cards (Red Yellow Blue) these are the basis of every potion and can be put to great effect if properly used. Gameplay is fast and easy with only 1 action each and only 2 options, Make a potion or Use a potion. This reduces player turn time keeping the game going and makes sure every player gets their action out quickly. Mixing a potion: Alchemists mix potions by using the idea of the color wheel and mixing colors of paint. Placing component cards from their hands to the center pot in exchange for up to 7 different potions. Using a Potion: Alchemists use potions by placing them back into the center pot and completing the effect of that potion. These effects may help themselves, hinder other Alchemists or a combination of both. Each potion effect is explained on the card itself to reduce rulebook reading and to keep the game running smoothly. Although the game is set up for 6 players, Primary Potions can easily be expanded upon itself to accommodate more people just by adding another deck. —description from the publisher
