Our take on Alchemist of War
The game centers on balancing power between two factions while selling to both. That setup limits the role to a neutral merchant: it does not frame play around choosing a side or fighting directly.
What is Alchemist of War?
Play as an alchemist merchant who crafts weapons from random ingredients and sells them to customers on both sides of a war.
The card game combines crafting with a score goal: balance weapon power between the warring factions to try to reach a higher score. Its listed contents include 15 weapons, 15 crafting ingredient cards, and 11 unique customers. The merchant serves both sides rather than favoring one, with sales tied to customers who keep paying as the conflict continues.
