The Quacks of Quedlinburg: MegaBox

Players act as rival potion-makers who add ingredients to a bubbling cauldron one chip at a time, trying to build valuable brews without causing an explosion. Each round, players draw ingredient chips from a personal bag and place them along a shared spiral track; higher-value chips reach farther and increase a potion’s value, while certain chips (cherry bombs) risk making the pot explode. After nine rounds, players score victory points and earn coins to buy new ingredients for their bags, but an exploded pot forces a choice between points or coins for that round. This edition also includes additional witch powers, new ingredient books, and alternate player boards that introduce new effects such as nightmares and other player-specific conditions.
