‘Potion Explosion’ Second Edition and New Expansion Arrive at Spiel 2018

Potion Explosion Second Edition (CMON/Horrible Games)Fans of puzzle games will be pleased to learn Horrible Games and CMON are releasing a second edition of Potion Explosion as well as a second expansion for the core game. In the game players are attempting to concoct various potions to score victory points and obtain unique abilities to become Student of the Year. The Sixth Student Expansion not only allows for that sixth player but also includes a revamped marble dispenser, new potions, and a new ingredient. Both releases are set for Spiel in Essen next month and MSRP info isn’t available yet but the base game should price around $39.99.

From CMON:

Dear students, it’s time for the final exams of the Potions class! The rules are always the same: Take an ingredient marble from the dispenser and watch the others fall. If you connect marbles of the same color, they explode and you can take them, too! Complete your potions using the marbles you collect, and drink them to unleash their magical power. Remember, though, that to win the Student of the Year award, being quick won’t be enough: you’ll also need to brew the most valuable potions in Potion Explosion!

About the expansion:

Huge renovations are ongoing at the Horribilorum Sorcery Academy for Witty Witches and Wizards! A new dispenser, bigger halls, and more players!

The second expansion for the award-winning Potion Explosion, The 6th Student includes a shiny new plastic dispenser and introduces a new game mode to play with 5/6 players! Pick marbles from one dispenser and discard them into the other, but be ready for the sound of the bell! When you change classrooms, the roles of the two dispensers will swap, so plan ahead.

Also, learn to brew two new potions focused on sharing Ingredients (either willingly or not), the Generosity Confection and the Concentrate of Selfishness, and handle a new kind of wild Ingredient that can’t be mixed with any other Ingredient, Mandragora Leaves!
