Potion Explosion: The Fifth Ingredient

About this expansion

Potion Explosion: The Fifth Ingredient is an expansion for 2–4 players that adds a spooky new ingredient, four new potions, and new Professors to the brewing game. With a play time of about 60 minutes, it takes the magical competition at Horribilorum Sorcery Academy to a whole new level.

Ghost Ectoplasm is the expansion’s fifth ingredient. It acts as a joker, giving players new ways to combine ingredients and trigger even more incredible explosions while preparing their potions. Its arrival may be spooky, but the Professors are ready to teach witches and wizards how to handle it safely.

The expansion broadens the possibilities of every brewing session with:

• Ghost Ectoplasm, a flexible fifth ingredient that works as a joker
• Four new potions for more diverse gameplay
• New Professors who dramatically change the way potions are brewed

These additions make each turn more dynamic as players look for opportunities to create powerful combinations. The joker effect of Ghost Ectoplasm can help set up larger explosions, while the new potions offer additional variety during the game.

Whether you are drawn to the academy’s ghostly surprises or want more ways to experiment with potion brewing, Potion Explosion: The Fifth Ingredient brings fresh ingredients and new strategic possibilities to the original game. Released in 2017, it is designed for players who want to expand their magical laboratory with new rules and challenges.
