I was introduced to this board game a while a go and it took some time for me to actually purchase it with me being unable to buy it from my LGS (Local Game Store). Me and my partner have played this a number of times now and we have a lot of fun each time! The game is visually appealing and the [optional] use of your smartphone to play is a great addition (Think the XCOM board game). There are a few downsides. We both felt that 6 rounds is not enough for the game to come to a fair conclusion. If you have never played Alchemists before, you're not going to know that you're going to have to start investing heavily pretty much straight away. This judgement has been made by only having two people playing so game length may be better with more people playing. Secondly, some aspects of the game don't ever seem to be advantageous. We noticed that we just were not using them. Again, this may be something that would be improved with more players. Overall, this game is fantastic. If you like science, problem solving and working out processes of elimination, then this is a game you're going to love! Read more

Una parte davvero pregevole è l'ironia insita nell'ambientazione modellata sul mondo accademico. Read more
