For days you have been gathering and drying strange ingredients, raven feathers, mandrake root and toad warts, waiting for the right moment to start experimenting. Today is the day: you are lighting your fire, mixing your first potions and proving, once and for all, that you are the greatest mind alchemy has ever known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Alchemists (FR), two to four players take on the role of budding alchemists locked in a ruthless race to uncover the secrets of their mystical art. Several paths lead to victory, but publishing your \u003cstrong\u003etheories\u003c\/strong\u003e remains the most rewarding way to win, provided they are correct. Players combine ingredients and test their mixtures using a \u003cstrong\u003emobile app\u003c\/strong\u003e that scans the cards and calculates the results instantly, a clever way to remove guesswork and keep everyone honest. Bit by bit, each alchemist figures out how to brew \u003cstrong\u003epotions\u003c\/strong\u003e to sell to passing adventurers, gathers gold to afford powerful artifacts, and watches their reputation rise or crash depending on how accurate their publications turn out to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemists is a \u003cstrong\u003estrategy game\u003c\/strong\u003e of calculated risk and sharp \u003cstrong\u003ededuction\u003c\/strong\u003e, where every choice matters. Is it better to take the time to verify a theory, or rush to publish it for a quick reputation boost? Should you spend your savings confirming the latest rumor about toads, or save up for a coveted artifact? And that potion with an uncertain effect, is it really wise to sell it to that heavily armed barbarian? Making the right calls will make you the greatest alchemist in the realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemists is for you if you love games built on logic and calculated risk-taking, if the idea of mixing ingredients and testing your theories ahead of everyone else gets you excited, and if you are looking for a board game that can fill an entire evening with demanding friends. Fans of management and sharp deduction games will find a mental challenge that lives up to their expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it launched in 2014, Alchemists won the Most Innovative Game award at the Board Game Quest Awards and the Best Written Rules prize at the Essener Feder in 2015, on top of being a finalist in several Golden Geek Award categories, including Board Game of the Year. Its mobile app system for testing ingredient combinations remains, more than a decade later, one of the most cited examples of smart digital integration in a board game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game was designed by Matúš Kotry, who built the entire app-assisted deduction system, and brought to life by illustrator David Cochard. Kotry later revisited his alchemy universe with Little Alchemists, a version designed for families and younger players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play Alchemists, you will need a tablet or smartphone (iOS, Android or Windows) to install the free app that acts as your virtual laboratory: it scans ingredient cards and reveals your experiment results instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 double-sided game board\u003cbr\u003e1 theory board\u003cbr\u003e1 exhibition board\u003cbr\u003e4 laboratory screens\u003cbr\u003e4 results triangles\u003cbr\u003e4 player boards\u003cbr\u003e6 adventurer tiles\u003cbr\u003e2 conference tiles\u003cbr\u003e5 grant tiles\u003cbr\u003e8 alchemy tokens\u003cbr\u003e104 potion tokens\u003cbr\u003e36 gold pieces\u003cbr\u003e44 seal tokens (11 per color)\u003cbr\u003e6 conflict tokens\u003cbr\u003e1 starting player token\u003cbr\u003e8 ingredient tiles\u003cbr\u003e1 potion master board\u003cbr\u003e40 ingredient cards\u003cbr\u003e22 favor cards\u003cbr\u003e18 artifact cards\u003cbr\u003e16 discount cards\u003cbr\u003e8 flask markers (2 per color)\u003cbr\u003e24 action cubes (6 per color)\u003cbr\u003e1 pad of deduction grids\u003cbr\u003eContainers for tokens\u003cbr\u003e1 rulebook\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of players:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to protect your cards, you will need:\u003cbr\u003e96 card sleeves, size 44 x 68 mm (mini euro): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/products\/mayday-games-sleeves-mayday-premium-mini-european\"\u003eMayday Premium Mini European Sleeves (45mm x 68mm) 50CT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"IELLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49116392980731,"sku":"210000053856","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5847\/1419\/files\/alchimistes-pre-joue-fr-bazar-bazar-strategie-1251536909.jpg?v=1785374652","url":"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/en\/products\/alchimistes-pre-joue-fr","provider":"L'As des jeux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
