Because you place your potions facedown, they beg your opponent to flip them over - which, if you play your tiles right, can strategically devour one of their two precious actions. Get three matches to satisfy your apothecaries, and you win.Īfter a few moves, it becomes apparent Apotheca also wants you to deceive your opponent. (You can also reset the board, too, though only if the tiles get locked up in an unmatchable pattern.) Get three face-up potions of the same color in a row or column, and you’ve made a match. Often, you’ll want to do all four of these things, but can only do two on any given turn. If the premise evokes Connect Four, Apotheca is Connect Four played in a common room at Hogwarts, where Newtonian laws are warped to the point that you’re never not quite sure where the chit you dropped will be when your turn rolls around again.Īpotheca won’t exactly stun you with thaumaturgic board game powers, but it does find a bit of magic out of its simple rules: On a turn, you can place a tile face down (called a potion, natch, which comes in one of three colors) on the four-by-four grid, flip a potion face-up, use an “apothecary power” to shift a potion’s position, or buy a fresh potion-shuttling power. Once you begin a match, however, Apotheca wriggles into focus as a slick, clever thing. Unfortunately - if you like games slightly smarter than something a four-year-old could master, anyway - those are not the sexiest of companions. If that goal evokes the victories of, say, a Candy Crush or Connect Four or tic-tac-toe, you’d be forgiven. Its first act of deception lies within its well-worn win condition: To defeat your opponent, the game tells you, you’ll have to be the first to create sets of three matching tiles in a row or column.
