Basic gameplay

On your turn, take any marble from the dispenser. If two marbles (or groups of marbles) of the same colour collide when closing the gap, they explode! Take those marbles too. Keep doing this until no more explosions occur.

Taken marbles can be placed in the matching holes on your potions. You can also keep three marbles in your Pool (the retort to the right of your potions). Any marbles left in your hand at the end of your turn are returned to the dispenser.

When all the holes of a potion are filled, that potion is completed and it moves to your potion area, becoming worth its VP at the end of the game. You can drink these potions at any time during your turn, to activate their effect. (You can only drink each potion once, and it still scores points even after being drunk.)

Once per turn you can ask the professor for a Little Help (in addition to your regular move): this costs -2 VP, and lets you take any one marble from the dispenser, without triggering an explosion.

When you make your third potion of a type, or when you have made five different types of potions, take a Skill token for 4VP. When the pile of Skill tokens has been depleted, that round is played out and the game ends.

Potion of Magnetical Attraction
Take 2 adjacent Ingredients of different colors from the same slide track of the Dispenser. No Explosions are triggered. "I don’t think this is what they mean when they say “magnetic personality”."
Sands of Time
Activate again the effect of 1 Potion you already used. "We can always learn from our past mistakes... but we can gain even more from our past good moves!"
Elixir of Blind Love
Steal all the Ingredients from 1 opponent’s Pool. "Why bother with theft, when all you need to do is unleash your dazzling charm?"
Filter of Lavamancing
Discard up to 5 Ingredients of 1 color from the same slide track of the Dispenser back into the tank. No Explosions are triggered. "Not exactly a surgical strike type of thing, but undeniably powerful."
Potion of Prismatic Joy
You can place all Ingredients in your Pool on any holes of your incomplete Potions, regardless of their color. "Marbles? Colors? Who cares... let’s party!"
Balm of Uttermost Stickiness
Take 2 or more adjacent Ingredients of the same color from the same slide track of the Dispenser. No Explosions are triggered. "This stuff is stickier than molasses! The thing is... how do you unstick this mess?"
Abyssal Draft
