About Little Alchemists (CGE)
Little Alchemists is a family-friendly potion making deduction game that’s designed to grow with the curious minds of young players. The game starts with simple concepts and mechanics — you’ll start by gathering ingredients and scanning them with the free companion app to brew potions to sell to adventurers. Imagine running a lemonade stand…except the lemonade is magic, and you’ll get the gist.
As you collect keys by achieving your potion-making goals, however, you’ll unlock new chapters that gradually layer in more components, mechanics, and complexity to the experience. Early chapters are great for younger kids and their families, while the additions in later chapters will challenge even adult players!
- Gather ingredients, and brew and sell potions, all based on experimentation and ingredient deduction.
- Scan ingredients to craft unique potion combinations with a tablet or smartphone.
- Unlock new chapters across multiple replays — each layers on new mechanics and complexity to expand the core experience.
- A great primer on the basic concepts of Alchemists — once you’ve mastered Little Alchemists, you should be ready to try out the original euro game!
- 2–4 players, 15–30 minutes, ages 7+

About Snatch It! (HeidelBÄR Games)
Once upon a time there was a pond that hummed and buzzed happily. But then the frogs suddenly appeared. They greedily filled their mouths with everything within reach of their tongues, even snatching their prey from the mouths of the others.
Snatch It! is a family game for 3–6 players where the goal is to secure as much food as possible. Become a hungry frog and grab the tastiest cards from the pond. Protect your well-filled piles from the other greedy frogs who keep trying to snatch them away from you. Only those who collect their piles before they burst will not end up with an empty belly.
- Become a hungry frog and hunt for prey.
- Grab everything you can get your hands on.
- But be careful, you might burst!
- 3–6 players, 20 minutes, ages 8+
