Alchemists is a light-hearted, humorous yet surprisingly deep and strategic game that allows players to experience the rush of scientific discovery with an excellent mix of deduction and guesswork. Regardless of the result, there’s a certain freedom and exhilaration that comes with mixing together unknown ingredients and seeing what happens.
