About this board game

Potion Explosion is a board game for 2 to 4 players with a playing time of about 45 minutes, first released in 2015. Designed by Lorenzo Silva, Andrea Crespi, and Stefano Castelli, it places players in the final exams of the Potions class.

The rules are simple to understand but demand more than speed. On your turn, take an ingredient marble from the dispenser and watch the others fall. When marbles of the same color connect, they explode, allowing you to take those marbles as well.

Use the ingredients you collect to complete your potions. Once a potion is ready, drink it to unleash its magical power. The marbles you gather and the potions you finish are central to your progress through the exam.

  • Take an ingredient marble from the dispenser.
  • Collect connected marbles of the same color when they explode.
  • Complete potions with the ingredients you gather.
  • Drink finished potions to unleash their magical powers.

Although being quick matters, it is not enough to earn the Student of the Year award. In Potion Explosion, you must also brew the most valuable potions to win.

With its colorful marble dispenser, ingredient explosions, and magical potion powers, Potion Explosion presents a lively competition for 2 to 4 students. Whether you are seeking the highest-value brews or enjoying the spectacle of matching marbles falling into place, the final exam awaits.
