The Quacks of Quedlinburg

The bag-building game for quacks and charlatans by Wolfgang Warsch for 2–4 players ages 10 and up

Once every year, the city of Quedlinburg holds a 9-day bazaar within its city walls. The country‘s best miracle doctors and quack surgeons gather in one place to showcase their healing remedies. Smelly feet, homesickness, hiccups and love problems—these charlatans have a unique cure for whatever ails you. During the game, players draw from their ingredient bag in the hopes of creating the best potion. The better the potion, the more coins that you will have to buy superior ingredients. But be careful: a few too many of these special ingredients and the whole pot could explode! So do you press your luck hoping for that magic elixir, or do you play it safe in the hopes for bigger gains and more valuable ingredients later? That is for you to find out…maybe the hard way. So stockpile your most valuable ingredients and get brewing; your next potion might be the best one yet!
