Our take on Alchemy Deck
The game centers on a card-based alchemy shop: gather ingredients, brew customer potions, sell them for gold, and upgrade tool cards while pursuing the Philosopher's Stone.
What is Alchemy Deck?
Alchemy Deck is an alchemy-themed card game about becoming a master potion maker.
Players collect plants, mushrooms, minerals, and animal parts, and can assign apprentices to gather ingredients. With the materials on hand, they brew potions for customer orders or create recipes of their own. Potions can be sold for gold, which can be spent on shop upgrades. Tool cards can also be upgraded to increase production speed. Bandits and wild animals pose threats, and trained apprentices can take on enemy cards. The game includes card transformations and a combat system. Its stated goal is to find the Philosopher's Stone, while players gather resources, brew potions, serve customers, and develop the potion shop.
