About the Game

Deadly Concoctions is the lethal card game in which you mix heart-stopping, madness- inducing, soul-crushing potions, in an effort to kill your opponents.

How To Play Separate the "Life" cards (Mind, Heart, Spirit) from the deck and give one of each to all players, who are to set them face-up on the playing surface.

Shuffle the deck and deal each player 6 cards. Set the deck face down between all participants. The player left of the dealer takes the first turn.

For each turn, a player draws up to the hand limit of 7 cards [from any combination of atop the deck or discard field), and discards 1 card into an open field of cards on the playing surface (concluding the turn). If, prior to discarding, a player matches a "Potion" card with the 2 "Ingredient" cards shown on it, the 3 cards may be played on any opponent's Life card. When this occurs, set aside all 4 cards to remove them from play. If one loses all life cards, he or she is dead and out of the game. A player may attack only once per turn, and only the Life form targeted by a potion. "Secret Ingredient" cards are wild. Use them in place of ingredients needed to mix a potion. The "Serum X" card is a complete potion that, by itself, may attack any Life form.

The sole surviving player, wins!
