Overview

In The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are charlatans brewing up their secret remedies, each striving to become the most renowned quack in the land. Each round, you'll draw ingredients from your personal ingredient bag, adding them to your brewing pot. The further you push your luck, the more potent your potion becomes, earning you more points and money to acquire better ingredients.

However, be wary! Too many cherry bombs will cause your pot to explode, leaving you with a less effective potion and costing you valuable rewards. Will you play it safe, or risk it all for the ultimate concoction? The player who brews the most lucrative (and hopefully not too explosive) potions will be crowned the top quack!
