Players: 2-4 players | Play Time: 100 min | Age: 10+
Designer: Kuro
Publisher Tasty Minstrel Games
To be the most efficient at transmuting items through the course of the game. That is the basis for Ars Alchimia. The game lasts 4 rounds each round representing a year. Players take turns placing workers to gather resources, take up orders, employ an assistant or transmute items at the forges. This is a fun worker placement game with an anime artwork style that is bright and fun.
This one does take a bit to get used to as do most worker placement games. The more workers that are on a spot the less efficient that spot becomes. So the challenge is planning your turn to get to those spots first.
