Introduction: The bag-building game for quacks and charlatans by Wolfgang Warsch. Welcome to Quedlinburg, where the best miracle doctors and quack surgeons from across the land gather to brew their concoctions against smelly feet, homesickness, hiccups, and relationship woes. Every quack has their own special brew they hope will make them the best miracle doctor in the land! The Quacks of Quedlinburg is a strategic push-your-luck game where each player draws from their potpourri of ingredients until they think that their own special blend is just right. But be careful: a few too many special ingredients and the whole potion could blow up in your face! Do you stop early to improve your chances of making a better potion later that will win the day, or do risk a big setback to get more money and fame now? Finding the right balance between risk and reward is key. |
Features: In The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are charlatans — or quack doctors — each making their own secret brew by adding ingredients one at a time. Take care with what you add, though, for a pinch too much of this or that will spoil the whole mixture! Each player has their own bag of ingredient chips. During each round, they simultaneously draw chips and add them to their pot. The higher the face value of the drawn chip, the further it is placed in the swirling pattern. Push your luck as far as you can, but if you add too many cherry bombs, your pot explodes! At the end of each round, players gain victory points and also coins to spend on new ingredients to add to their bags. But players with exploded pots must choose points or coins — not both! The player with the most victory points at the end of nine rounds wins the game.
