kiwizou card game potion express

Be the first to deliver 3 magic potions. With the 'Potion Express' card game by the French brand Kiwizou, players collect ingredients like pumpkins, mushrooms, and earthworms to brew magic potions. See who can help the witches the fastest.

Setup:
1. Divide the deck of bat cards in two. Place one half with the sleeping bats facing up, and one half with the awake bats facing up. Put the 2 halves on top of each other, with the sleeping bats on the bottom and the awake bats on top. Shuffle this deck well and place it in the center of the table.
2. Draw 9 cards from the deck and lay them out on the table in a 3x3 grid. Do not flip them over!
3. Shuffle the 12 potion tokens. Flip 3 face up and place the rest face down in a pile next to the playing area.
4. Each player takes a magic wand, time to cast a spell!

Whoever most recently performed a magic trick goes first. Choose a row or column and place your magic wand next to it. You may only choose a row that does not already have another wand pointing to it. On your following turns, you must always move to a different free row or column. The active player flips over the three cards in the chosen row. Then the player takes all the cards from this row that show awake bats. Place these cards face up in front of you so you can see the ingredients on the cards. Sleeping bats stay where they are. Place new cards from the deck onto the empty spaces in the row without flipping them over.

Next, check if you can make one or more of the face-up magic potions with your collected ingredients. Return the matching bat cards to the deck and place the potion token in front of you. Replenish the potion tokens. If you have enough ingredients for multiple potions, you may brew all of them on the same turn. If you are short on ingredients for a potion, save them for a later turn.

There are 2 special cards. Stardust can replace any type of ingredient. And Flip-Flop can be played at any moment during your turn to choose one random bat card on the table and flip it over.

The first player to brew 3 magic potions (or 4 magic potions in a 2-player game) wins the game. Grab your wand and start brewing those potions.
