Rabbit's Potion game overview PnP roll and write board game
This week I’ve been playing a preview copy of “Rabbit’s Potion”. This is a PnP roll and write game about making magic potions. In the solo game, you take three potion commissions from the Shop and move around the countryside collecting ingredients. You must then mix the ingredients into specific combination patterns, while avoiding adding contaminations into the potion jars.
In this video, I overview the main game elements and then play through the first five game turns. This is a preview copy pre-Kickstarter so some elements may change. Game provided by the game designer for this video.
Note: I’ve obvious been playing too many zombie games and kept referring to “contaminations” as “contagions”. Ignore the “contagions” but try to avoid the contaminants in your potions.

      This is on pages 5 and 6 of the rules. You roll the dice and this gives you the initial values. To trigger a card, you select the row/column and need to subtract each from a rolled dice. So you roll a 6 and a 4 and want to trigger the card at the 2,2 grid card. After this, your dice are set to 4 and 2. You could also trigger the 1,1 grid card. Then your dice would be 3 and 1. Finally you might trigger the 1,3 card or the 3,1 card. Then your dice are at 0 each so end of turn. Thanks for watching.

    I'm new to the game. But I think you missed a Scoring of HP while doing your migration. You should have gotten 3HP for the three green hexes that are not touching other colors. You would multiply for any other colors that have cells that are not touching any other color. Yours only had the 1 color that qualified. The rules say you treat a zero as a 1 so you missed out on 3HP. Thank you for your posting as it was helpful for me to see the rules and then your active play of them to understand them a bit more. I also feel it is valid to mention (as I learned from the author's Primer) that you have to plan your hyve for population growth or for HP growth, as they compete against each other.

    What genious made D20 red and D12 orange? AFAIK those 2 are the most mixed up dice of all of them, you would think they would want to use super distinct colors for those two specifically, but no, they use probably most similar colors in the whole set.

    • @OutofTheBoxBoardGames

      @@OutofTheBoxBoardGames Yeah, i know, i'm just saying, if you give the dice to a new player as you suggested and tell them to roll a d20, the red one, they are significantly more likely to confuse a d12 for d20 if they are such similar colors. For experienced players it won't matter anyway but for new players it might. It would have been better if they made d20 red and d12 like blue or green, then there would be no confusion. Make d6 orange instead, nobody will confuse a d6 for d20.

    I’m still really confused by the instructions. I landed on water but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do afterwards. Also in relation to the arrows. How do I know which column/row to put a new arrow and is there a process that determines when I have to place one ? I’m so confused.

    • @OutofTheBoxBoardGames
      @OutofTheBoxBoardGames 2 місяці тому

      If you land on Water, you place a Star on it in the Star Chart and can move from that location in the future. If you look at the top left of the Star Chart, Water is a down right arrow ↘️. You then place this arrow in ANY empty space in your movement Engine. This then builds the movement by row/column. Say you put your Water arrow at 3,3 in your Engine. In later turns, a 3 die would give you ↘️↘️ if you picked the 3 column and ↘️⬇️ if you picked the 3 row. Thus by collecting the elements you can customise the movement in the Engine. Thanks for watching.

    Following the WIP thread for this game on BGG, skipping market cards at the start of the second round isn't punitive. The desired outcome for skipping one market card for every unoccupied yellow hex was to ensure that the game always consists of the same number of turns. As you shows in the playthrough, whenever you place a yellow cube, you tuck the market card on the right hand side (side card, I think the rules call it). Every time you do this in the first round, you remove one market card available to be shuffled in for the second round. Without the skipping mechanic, you could buy yourself 2 extra turns in the second round by leaving yellow hexes unoccupied in the first round. I really enjoy the puzzle in this game. It has just enough dice mitigation to make strategic choices possible, and with the added variety given by the additional cards in the expansion I can see myself picking this up fairly regularly.

    • @OutofTheBoxBoardGames
      @OutofTheBoxBoardGames 2 місяці тому

      Thanks. That’s a good point. I hadn’t thought about how it will balance the number of turns. Very clever. When I play I try and prioritise getting the yellow territories but the outcome is the same for turns. I think my next game will be less frantic. Thanks the comment and for watching.
