Parks & Potions

About this board game

Parks & Potions is a botanical-alchemy board game for 1–5 players, with games lasting around 30 minutes. You take on the role of a park ranger, gathering floral extracts and creating potions to help animals from different biomes.

Across 5–6 rounds, each representing a day of work, you will roll dice to discover flowers to extract, manage your inventory, and use your carefully mixed potions. Healing animals and completing experiments both earn points, making each round an opportunity to support the park in a different way.

Animals in similar habitats can unlock bonus points, rewarding a focused approach to conservation. Alternatively, you can pursue experimentation and seek out new potions, choosing whether to specialize in animal care or explore the possibilities of botanical alchemy.

• Roll dice to discover flowers and gather extracts.
• Manage your inventory and mix extracts into potions.
• Use potions to fulfill objectives and cure animals.
• Earn points through healing, experiments, objectives, and habitat bonuses.

The game’s phases guide you from discovering useful flora to preparing your resources and putting your potions to work. Strategic potion mixing and thoughtful objective completion are central to becoming the most renowned ranger.

At the end of the game, the player with the most points is crowned the guardian of nature. With its blend of dice rolling, inventory management, potion mixing, animal healing, and conservation-focused scoring, Parks & Potions offers a compact challenge for aspiring park guardians.
