[BETA ENDED] Potion Explosion - an award winning potion brewing game!

[WetRock]

Hello,

I cannot get Prismatic Joy to work. Is anyone else having problems? I select the potion but when I go to move the potions I get a red error saying that the potions are the wrong color.

Prismatic joy only works on ingredients in your pool (the flask). Make sure you have filled the flask first and then try using the potion : you should find it works fine then.

Thank you. It wasn't clear to me that there was a distinction in pool between all of the ingredients and only those in the flask. That's confusing in terminology.

I wonder if a label would help there.

We just tried it with 4 players. It's extreeeeemly slow in Safari - as in "no fun". It only worked o.k. after changing to another browser.
Any chance you can get it to run smoothly in Safari? It's a fun game in itself.

Hello Adam,

First of all, congrats on the programming of Potion Explosion : it is beautiful, and smooth ! One of the best experiences on BGA.

However I think there is a minor bug (I checked the rules) : when the game is almost completed, if there is no more "skills tokens", the game still "create" new ones to complete our score. Please find included an example of a game of 2 players, which should have only 4 tokens, but here at the last turn, we manage to finish our potions, so the count go up to 7 :-/

[EDIT] : Adam answered by email, and I include the snippet as a image joined to my message.

The issue here is not actually a bug but a misunderstanding of the skill token stack. It is simply there to identify the game end trigger, however skill tokens are still available from the ‘general pool’. I have copied the snippet from the rule book for you for reference.
