Quacks
In Quacks, which was first released as The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are charlatans — or quack doctors — each making their own secret brew by adding ingredients one at a time. Take care with what you add, though, for a pinch too much of this or that will spoil the whole mixture!
What is Quacks
In Quacks, which was first released as The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are charlatans — or quack doctors — each making their own secret brew by adding ingredients one at a time. Take care with what you add, though, for a pinch too much of this or that will spoil the whole mixture!
Each player has their own bag of ingredient chips. During each round, they simultaneously draw chips from their bags and add them to their pots. The higher the face value of the drawn chip, the further it is placed in the pot's swirling pattern, increasing how much the potion will be worth. Push your luck as far as you can, but if you add too many cherry bombs, your pot will explode!
At the end of each round, players gain victory points and coins to spend on new ingredients, depending on how well they managed to fill up their pots. But players whose pots have exploded must choose points or coins — not both! The player with the most victory points at the end of nine rounds wins the game.

Although I do not see this as a KSdJ winner due to the enormous amount of luck involved, I did enjoy my game. It is quite original, and I think it is included in the bag-building system, being this the first game of this kind I play. Nice components, relatively light game with good mechanisms to help the loser (thus mitigating a bit the luck factor), very enjoyable. After a second game, I really like this one.
Great push your luck, fun for the whole family (but I usually go for the same combo of abilities to not overwhelm them) or with people in the hobby... the bag building makes you feel smart when you get that great combo of chips in a row, but the luck keeps it light if you bust in the first moves you make, either way, get the right group and this game is a blast, with laughs nonstop.
I suck at this game, but, I enjoy seeing the faces of everyone else pulling out spikes from their bags :)
