Who it's for

Players who enjoy dry, mathy abstracts with a hidden-goal twist and thinking a couple of steps ahead of the supply.

Not for you if…

You want theme, drama or direct interaction. It is cerebral and abstract, easy to overthink, and long out of print.

🦊

Vibe's take

Mathy and quietly cutthroat, balancing the open scramble for points against a hidden goal you must hide from watchful rivals.

About this game

A cool abstract contest of cubes and numbers dressed as alchemy. You define recipes to earn cubes and pick a victory-point value, then anyone who copies your recipe pays you a cube. As colors drain from the supply, you race to sneak your secret color out for a hidden end bonus.
