Potion Potluck

Final Match 2 - Potion Potluck

Players will be competing to combine ingredients into various potions in order to generate the most points.

The player who earns the most points in 2 out of 3 games will win the death match.

This game uses 7 types of ingredients.

Each is named after a color and has a set quantity used in each game.

These 35 ingredients will be shuffled to form the round’s deck.

We take the top 4 ingredients and place them into the potluck.

We also reveal the next 2 ingredients that are upcoming.

Once an ingredient from the potluck is used, the next upcoming ingredient replaces it and a new upcoming ingredient is drawn.

The starting quantities for each are as follows:

5 Red 5 Orange 5 Yellow 5 Green 5 Blue 5 Indigo 5 Violet

Gameplay:

Gameplay will occur as follows.

To clarify, Upcoming 1 is the colour that will be added to the potluck when an ingredient is removed from the potluck.

Upcoming 2 then becomes Upcoming 1, and the next colour in the Deck becomes Upcoming 2.

The loser of FM1 will choose who goes first in game 1.

The loser of the first game chooses for game 2, then the loser of game 2 chooses for game 3, if there is a game 3.

On their turn, each player has 45 seconds to choose 1 of 4 options as an action for that turn:

Take: The player will publicly declare a colour they wish to take from the potluck, and add it to their inventory.

Their inventory will be updated in their private submission channel. Players will not see each other’s inventories, but are allowed to try and keep track.

Mix: The player will publicly declare they wish to mix a potion together.

60 seconds will be added to their total turn time. In their private submission channel, they will then declare which ingredients they wish to mix together into a potion.

Once they have chosen, their inventory will be updated, then the dealer will publicly declare which potion they have created and how many points they have earned.

Draw: The player draws the top card from the Deck and adds it to their inventory.

Their inventory will be updated in their private submission channel.

Generate:The Generate action may only be used once per game (meaning up to 3 times in the entire Final Match).

The player will publicly declare they wish to generate an ingredient.

The ingredient is added to their inventory.

For the Take and Generate actions, the player must declare which colour ingredient they are taking/generating. (ex. “Take Green” or “Generate Blue”).

If a player says “Take” with 1 second remaining, then says “Green” when time has run out, it will not count as a valid submission, and their turn will be skipped.

For the Mix Action, the player may state in their private submission channel which 3 ingredients they are using. Stating “Recipe A” would also be an valid submission.

If you wish to mix a Disaster Potion, please specfiy the ingredients.

If a player does not make a move in the allotted time, their turn is skipped. If a player skips 3 turns in a game, they auto-lose the game.

Each player’s inventory has a limit of 7. If a players turn starts and they have 7 ingredients in their inventory, they must use the Mix action.

**Recipes: **

To earn points, players must follow recipes to create potions.

All recipes have exactly 3 ingredients. At the start of the Final Match 4 Recipes will be revealed. Each Recipe is worth 5 points.

Whenever any of these 4 recipes are made, each player choose one of the 3 recipe colours and what they would like to change it to.

The result must be a recipe made of 3 different colours.

If there is a conflict, either by both players trying to change the same colour or the result including repeated colours, then all conflicted ingredients that were attempted to be modified will become another ingredient at random such that there are 3 different colours.

The recipe then becomes worth 1 less, but not less than 2. The recipe is now permanently modified.

There are 2 other possible potions:

Disaster Potion: Any 3 ingredients that do not combine into an established recipe = 1 point

Rainbow Potion: You may mix a potion with 7 ingredients, one for each colour of the rainbow, to earn larger points.

You will earn 7 points the first time you do this, then 6, then 5, then 4 etc. This carried between games in the Final Match.

Recipes modified ingredients and points persist between games.

Results:

Potion Potluck will be played over several games, best two-out-of-three style. Each game will have its own unique ingredient order.

A game will immediately end when the potluck has less than 4 ingredients in it.

The player with the most points at the end of the game will win that game.

If both players’ scores are tied at the end of a game, the player who ended the game by reducing the potluck to less than 4 ingredients will win.

The first player to win two games will win the Final Match.

In this board, Gemini has nothing in their inventory.

Potato Inventory is in Rainbow Order. Both players currently earn 7 points for making a Rainbow Potion.

The 4 recipes at the bottom are worth 5 points,

Orange is the next ingredient to enter the potluck.
