What this is
Pull ingredients from their stock to make their pot bubble, but hopefully not explode. Each round players draw ingredient tokens from their personal bags one at a time, hoping to fill their cauldron as full as possible without drawing too many white cherry bomb tokens and causing an explosion. Purchasing new ingredients between rounds to improve their bag creates a satisfying progression loop that balances risk and reward.
