This is a fantastic family game and this is just a steal at this price with both the expansions as you'll be paying around double this buying everything individually, and way more convenient to have it all stored nicely in one big box.

Zatu offer multi buy discounts and also 5% discount for a Student Beans code.


Description:

Have you always wanted to play Quacks of Quedlinburg designed by Wolfgang Warsch? If so, look no further. The Quacks of Quedlinburg Mega Box comes with the award-winning base game and its two expansions; The Herb Witches and The Alchemists. With a run time of 45 minutes and rules which are easy to learn, Quacks is the perfect game for casual and veteran gamers.

Quacks of Quedlinburg, is a bag building game with elements of push your luck. Players take on the role of quack doctors, who are trying to brew the best potion, over a 9-day festival. Simultaneously, players draw ingredients from their bag and add them to their cauldron score tracks. Whoever gets the furthest wins victory pints and rolls the bonus die. But beware, inside your bag are cherry bombs! Draw too many of these and your pot will explode, and you’ll be left with nothing!

To improve potion brewing odds, players will buy ingredients with unique abilities. You can choose from mandrakes, mushrooms, moths, spiders and more. For those players who keep blowing up, rats’ tails will be added to the pot, as an extra ingredient, to stop them falling behind. At the end of 9 rounds, the player with the most victory points, win!

    I know, I really wish I didn't have the game and expansions already, I definitely paid double for all this. Makes me want to double down on something I know I really don't know

    Ah, this is a good one to play during the holidays. Feels thematic pulling things out of bag during this time of year

    Voted HOT, but I didn't actually buy it... Instead, I got the QUACKS & CO: QUEDLINBURG DASH, made from the same creator, which also has a discount (and there is also a further StudentBeans -5%), because it is a more streamlined and kid-friendly version. It should also make it easier for non-board people to get on-board (sorry for the pun)!

    I actually have that too and played it with my 6 year old and wife. It's definitely a lot of fun still and definitely scratches that same itch to an extent. Depending on the groups you play with, both can definitely have a place in the same collection I think, although I'm someone that thinks every game has a place in a collection, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, lol.

    Does this work for 2 players?

    This definitely plays well even at 2 players, but the reason is so good at 3 or 4 is that turns can happen simultaneously, so there's very little downtime. But at 2 it's still very fun, just less competition and less people to have a laugh at when their pot explodes

    Absolutely brilliant game. The expansions are good as well.

    They're pricey, but there are 3D printed cases for the cardboard pips that protect them and feel way better in my opinion. Think I paid about fifty squids for them though, so definitely an investment.

    It's definitely worth upgrading if you play this game a lot. Everyone who gets the GeekUp Bit Set for this game love them, so definitely worth checking out.

    Hmmmm what to do… already own the base game and have considered getting the expansions, it’d be nice to have it all in one box even though it’s supposed to be huge.

    That is quite the dilemma... Especially since the 2 expansions alone will already cost close to this. Maybe get this and sell on your base game?
