Notes publisher Horrible Games, "By making the dispenser with plastic, we made it sturdier and more durable; it also allowed us to implement a few tweaks to improve the overall gaming experience. It even has a drawer to store the marbles after you're done playing!" This new edition will have a slightly bigger box and a reworked inner plastic tray that will allow players to store the components of the Fifth Ingredient expansion inside the core set.Potion Explosion is a game for 2 to 4 players by Horrible Games.It was designed by Lorenzo Silva, Andrea Crespi and Stefano Castelli. 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!
