Summary: The true power of alchemy has been fully revealed, and its power is alluring, and… addictive. Each player finds themselves abusing their power, and their friends, as they try to take a dominant position, and win the game.

Addictive Alchemy is a deck destruction, or deck shaping game, where players drink potions a little too quickly, and have to manage their potions, and the side effects that come with them.

Players start the game with the same deck of cards (potions), and on their turn they will each drink 2 potions. However, those potions mix in their stomach or "system", and as a result at the start of their next turn they will have a side effect! To make matters trickier their foes can alter their side effects turning something that was intended to be helpful into something harmful, and unexpected.
