The game takes place on a 4x4 grid. Players gain points by making matches of three potions of the same color in a row. The first player to make three matches wins. It's easily learned, but the combination of asymmetric powers and secret facedown potions make the game a delicious challenge. Note that Apotheca is not a memory game - we've included indicators on the potion card backs to show who placed them, so you can peek at them again at any time!
