Quacks

A ridiculous game of brewing potions, pushing your luck, and exploding.

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.

Draw ingredients out of your bag and put them onto your cauldron. As you spiral outward, your concoction will bring you more and more rewards. But your ingredients have a mind of their own — they all have wild effects that make each game completely different. And if you push your luck too far, your cauldron explodes! The Standard Edition includes everything from the classic game, with updated art and a lower price.
