Potion selection

Post by drdoom »

On the Steam version there are a total of 8 potions and you get to pick 6 of them to play with. Here on BGA, it gives you the same 6 potions each time. I wonder of they will change that. :?:

It is not the same 6 every time, but it does pick the 6 for your and you have no choice.

It would be very helpful if there were an option to be able to draft potions at the beginning of the game.
This is something in the original rule-book as an optional rule. Please implement something similar.

I think there are already enough links on the BGA site to the rules of games. Read the rule on page 6, paragraph 3.

I propose to add options when creating the table to determine the choice of the 2 potions removed from the game:
1) random;
2) by the table creator (choice visible to players joining the table);
3) by the first 2 players (useful for 2-player games).

The above is a good suggestion, or it could be done similarly to how Dice Forge does it, with each player being offered a choice of two options, to which they can opt in or out.

randomly or by choice, and put them back into the box (they won’t be used during the game).

I think that you should post your suggestions here: https://boardgamearena.com/bugs otherwise the developers will likely not see them
