Alchemists study the secrets of transforming their bodies into powerful elemental forms capable of impossible feats. A rival Alchemist seeks to abuse this ability for their own gain. Push your skill to the limits and defeat them before they reach their full power.
A rival Alchemist seeks to use their magical prowess for ill purposes. Adapt to changing events, acquire resources to use powerful elemental Forms, and defeat your Rival in this spiritual successor to our previously released Lucas Gentry game, SpaceShipped.

Thanks for making this Preview video!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

We were very happy to and had a blast getting to play this one. Thanks for creating such an addictive game!

[@SPQRKlio]

The game looks interesting, packing a lot of structure into so few cards. Thanks for the preview (and for all the other videos-I really enjoy how much fun you both always seem to be having together!). My one criticism, though, is that this needed at least another 20% more of adorable dog.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

That is our goofball Navi. He was chasing a ladybug. But he is ALWAYS in every video. Just hiding under the table.

[@joek0620]

Thanks for the preview video.. I love your Button Shy videos. I just backed for FF and SS and can't wait to get my hands on the games. I am also enjoying the preview PNP for FF while I am waiting.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Thanks for watching! They are both great solo games!

[@Supermaki2]

Check the video description, it has timestamps from the top 10 video

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Thanks!

[@mazman9355]

the game looks good! i like the market and planning ahead part, too. I know this wasn't a rules teach, but could u clarify if u need someone to heckle u while playing, or is that optional?😊 or an expansion, maybe

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It's an option 🤣 but it's well worth it

[@malvinafis6907]

That looks really really good. I wasn't really interested in spaceshipped because theme.. but fantasy... that's my theme love... and of course it is money/coins and not shards...

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

I agree. Fantasy is a great theme. And thank you! It IS money 🤣
