Quacks of Quedlinburg

In The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players take on the role of charlatans—quirky quack doctors—each secretly brewing their own concoction by adding ingredients one chip at a time. But be careful: one pinch too many of the wrong ingredient can ruin the entire potion!

Every player has a personal bag filled with ingredient chips. During each round, everyone simultaneously draws chips and adds them to their pots. The higher the value on a chip, the farther it advances along the swirling pattern in the pot, increasing the potion’s overall worth. Push your luck as much as you dare—but beware! Too many cherry bombs will cause your pot to explode.

At the end of each round, players earn victory points and coins to buy new, more powerful ingredients—unless their pot has exploded, in which case they must choose either points or coins. After nine rounds, the player with the most victory points is crowned the winner.
