Alchimech (2004)

In Alchimech you are one of the ancient Alchemists, searching for the Elixir of Life. You are all on your own: the other alchemists are not always your friends, more often your competitors. Sometimes you can co-operate but local conflicts arise easily when interests collide.

Every alchemist wants to create the Elixir first, therefore needs specific raw elements from the four elemental kingdoms of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.

Alchimech is a game you will play for several hours. You must like this...The starting conditions of the game are always very different, this makes for very good replayability. Some people find the rules obscure; however you can start playing the game almost immediately, setting up the game according to the rulebook is easy, and it's part of the game! There are many strategies, possibilities and tactics in the game, and each has its rules, so it will take a few times playing this game to get to know it and to learn to play it well. But it can also be fun if you are not so good at it! Just play around and try out things!
Have fun
