Alchemy Academy Merge Game

A merge game set in an academy of alchemy

Magical items on the board — potions, crystals, rune stones, scrolls, spell books — merge in pairs into stronger ones, such as two spell books into a glowing grimoire. Characters at the academy set quests, and completing them unlocks new characters and restores the academy's rooms.

Core loop

Brewing at the board

The merge board: an apprentice asking for a grimoire at the top, magical items in pairs below, crates at the edges, and two spell books merging into that grimoire.
