Take care with what you add, though, for a pinch too much of this or that will spoil the whole mixture! Each player has their own bag of ingredient chips. During each round, they simultaneously ...

The Quacks of Quedlinburg is played over 9 “turns”, but I prefer to think of them as rounds since everyone plays simultaneously and there are no actual player turns. Each round goes through 3 phases: Preparation (getting things ready for the next round), Potions (drawing ingredients from your bag to make your potions), and Evaluation (earning money...
At the beginning of each round, a Fortune Teller card is drawn and its effects are applied to all players. Thematically these cards set the conditions for the brewing day ahead. In practice, these cards work as temporary events, adding some variance to make each round slightly different. Starting in the second round, rats could make their way into ...
During the Potions phase, players draw ingredient chips from their bags and add them to their pot (remember there are no player turns). This is the most thrilling part of The Quacks of Quedlinburg! Each player starts with their droplet token on the 0 space of their pot; this droplet marks the starting point for your pending potion. While the drople...
Every Evaluation phase runs through the same six steps (found on the Scoring Track board). Most of the steps in this phase are based on a player’s scoring space for that round. This is the space directly after the last chip placed in a player’s pot, whether that chip caused an explosion or not. The first step of the Evaluation phase (Bonus Die) is ...

There is also a rule for this final round which suggests players draw ingredients out sim...
In The Quacks of Quedlinburg players might have eight different kinds of ingredients in their bags, many of which have a bonus ability associated with them. The first ingredient, the Cherry Bombs, cannot be bought; they make up most of the ingredients in a player’s starting bag and are the only ones which cause a pot explode. In general, the more o...
Often I feel likeVincent Adultman: just a child wandering through adult life in a trench coat equipped with a mannequin arm and a broom as my hands. I feel this way because I love to play; it makes me happy. But it takes a special kind of play to take me back to the joyful times from my childhood when I would buy a Mystery Bag at the corner store. ...
Dec 29, 2021 · The Quacks of Quedlinburg is an outstanding game.
