Welcome to Potion Explosion!

I have the pleasure of bringing the game Potion Explosion to Board Game Arena! It is now available in alpha testing for BGA reviewers (see here: https://boardgamearena.com/reviewer) but you can message me directly for access to the game if you would like to try it out.

It's very colourful and great fun! I look forward to seeing you all playing it soon...

Awesome! Potion Explosion is a great game and should be good to play on BGA.

I decided I could do better with the dispenser - you know you want to play it now! Let me know if you need an invite to the group.

The photo of the dispenser really clashes with the aesthetic of the other game components. And it is so long that it displaces the playerboards to awkward positions.

... the marbles definitively will not be able to pass through the gaps on the dispenser.

I haven't played yet, but how does that dispenser translate to tablet and phone players? It is a lot of real estate for a small screen. It also looks slightly odd as the marbles at the top look relatively larger than the ones at the bottom. If it was TableTop Simulator or TableTopia I think you'd need the 3d looking dispenser, for here though, I don't know if it adds enough for how much space it occupies. I'd be happy enough to have that wood effect and logo form the top of the dispenser behind the marbles if that gave it a bit more of a visual push

Looks really good but maybe everything could be smaller on the screen so less scrolling required?
Also would like to choose ingredients to fill the flask if there are extras or be able to swap them.

That is really fun little game. I played that yesterday couple times and for me it seems that there is to little time (I’ve never have that kind of problem with other games). Maybe I’ll get faster about couple games but I’m just letting you know that maybe something worth looking at (eg. Increasing initial time) if more people has that problem.
