Potion Master Clash - Deckbuilder

A Custom homemade game. You and your friends are competing to see who is a Master Potion brewer. Starting with a handful of potions. You'll compete by combining different elixirs to craft new recipes Until you can craft a Grand Elixir!!! There is only 5 Grand Elixir Recipes, so fine tune your decks, boil away excess, and enrich the potions that are true.

Currently in an Alpha Phase. First version. I have not playtested yet. Currently planning on duplicating some cards in the uknown and main deck depending on how playtests go. Feel free to play around and give feedback.


General Play Description
Each Player starts with 10 cards in their own deck. Shuffle your decks, then draw 5 cards. Starting with one player, they can play the cards in their hand and either play the cards to get their attribute, or use the potion for its effect to gain a benefit on their turn. Use attributes to complete recipes and acquire new cards, or throw a mixture together and get an unknown potion! Once they are done with their turn they will discard any remaining cards in their hand and draw 5 more cards. Rinse and repeat until one person shows their Grand Potion Mastery!

Player Turn Cycle
Start -> "Thaw" affects are resolved.
Play -> Play any card for either effect or attributes. All effects are resolved at time of play unless stated otherwise. Recipes can be completed at any time. Other players may 'Spike' or 'freeze' potions.
End -> Discard all remaining cards in a players hand. Place all cards played into the players discard pile as well. Then draw 5 new cards.
**If you don't have enough cards to draw 5, draw the remaining cards. Shuffle your discard pile into your deck.**

Game Ends?
Once all Grand Elixirs are purchased or the Recipe (main) Deck is out of cards the game is over.

How to Win?
Grand Elixir Victory - once all Grand Elixirs are purchased, if a player purchased the most they are the victor and the Grand Potion Master!
Grand Elixir End (Tie) - Players that tied will add up the points (Top Left Circle) of their cards. Tied Player with the most points wins and becomes the Grand Potion Master!
Recipe Deck runs out - All Players will add up the points (Top Left Circle) of their cards. The Player with the most points wins and becomes the Grand Potion Master!

2 Player - Each player picks a grand elixir at random and removes them from the game. Play with the remaining 3.

***Two Types Grand Elixir Play Rules***

Top Deck Rule - Play with the top Grand Elixir Displayed. A player must craft the displayed grand elixir before flipping over the next Grand Elixir.

Any Time Craft - All Players can look at the Grand Elixir deck at any time. They can craft the Grand Elixirs once they have all 5 required attributes to craft.


How are Cards played?
Players choose between the effect and the attribute of the card. They may not choose both! It is up to the player to decide how to best play their hands! Be careful because the order may end up mattering if your opponents sabotage you by spiking your potion recipes!

Each Player can only Discard *one* card during an opponents turn.

How are Recipes Crafted?
The Recipe for cards is listed on the top right in the gray circle with 5 smaller circles. Each color represents a different potion category. Each Recipe element must be used to create a potion. Once crafted, place it in your discard pile.

**When a recipe is crafted or burned, replace it immedietly**
