The Horribilorum Sorcery Academy Has Gotten a Facelift.
It’s senior year at the Horribilorum Sorcery Academy for Witty Witches and Wizards. All the hard work and studying comes down to this: the final exam! Under the helpful tutelage of the Headmaster, players have learned how to handle volatile ingredients and turn them into fantastical potions! But only one will be at the head of the class when grades are posted.
In Potion Explosion 2 to 4 players are students attending the final exams of the Potions class! They need to complete their potions using the marbles they collect, drink them to unleash their magical power and ultimately win the Student of the Year award!
To brew your Potions, take one Ingredient marble from the Dispenser each turn, and make Ingredients of the same colour collide to make them explode (and take them too)! The bigger the explosions, the faster you’ll brew your potions! Each Potion recipe may need between 4 and 7 Ingredients. They are represented by the holes on the Potion tiles themselves.
Put the marbles of the correct colour on your Potion tiles: when all the holes have been filled with a marble of the corresponding colour, the Potion is completed. Each Potion is worth a certain number of points, which depends on the number of Ingredients needed to complete it and the strength of the magical power it grants.
When a player completes 3 Potions with the same power, or 5 Potions with 5 different powers, they receive a Skill token, which is worth 4 points. When the required number of Skill tokens have been awarded, the end of the game is triggered… and the player with the most points is the winner!
