About this expansion

Potion Explosion: The 6th Student is the second expansion for Potion Explosion, adding a new game mode for 5 or 6 players and supporting games for 2–6 players with a 45-minute play time.

Horribilorum Sorcery Academy is undergoing major renovations, including bigger halls and a shiny new plastic dispenser. In the expanded game mode, players pick marbles from one dispenser and discard them into the other, listening for the bell as they do so.

When you change classrooms, the roles of the two dispensers swap. This makes the timing and direction of your marble moves especially important, so plan ahead before the classroom changes again.

  • New dispenser: Add a second dispenser and use both in the 5/6-player game mode.
  • Two new potions: Brew the Generosity Confection and the Concentrate of Selfishness.
  • Mandragora Leaves: Handle a wild Ingredient that cannot be mixed with any other Ingredient.

The two new potions focus on sharing Ingredients, whether that sharing is willing or not. Alongside the new dispenser rules, they introduce fresh ways to interact with the Ingredients moving through the academy.

With its expanded player count, classroom-switching mechanism, and new potion effects, Potion Explosion: The 6th Student brings a larger academy and new challenges to the award-winning marble-matching game.
