Alkemy: 2. Edition Kickstarter

Alchemist Miniatures finanzieren auf Kickstarter eine englische Übersetzung der 2. Alkemy-Edition.

A LITTLE STORY

The rulebook you are currently holding is that of the game’s second edition which is expected to stay in use for many years to come. Alkemy’s first edition was released in 2007 and stayed current for a span of 15 years.

Alkemy’s story has always been intertwined with that of its players. Some of them began as beta testers in 2008 as part of Galleon collective, under Kraken Editions, then took the reins of testing and balancing at the end of 2010 when the game was bought by Studio 38 to finally take over the IP in 2013, forming Alchemist Miniatures company and creating the “Blitz” format. In 2019, a new group of players created “additional” rules by introducing supplemental cards to the game, which have now been baked in this second edition.

So, the question that arises is: why this second edition?

Well, we had a unique opportunity to rework and balance many parts of the game, making for a consistent second edition framework. First of all, the last balancing update had been released in 2017 and was starting to show its age. Then, there was the matter of the “Command” and “Secret Objectives” cards, which were now widely used by players and as such merited to be made a proper part of the game. In light of all this, starting to work on a second edition of Alkemy made perfect sense to us.

Fifteen years after its start, Alkemy got a consequent makeover, without losing its identity, yet still stays true to the spirit and the core mechanics that made the 2007 rules great. This second edition brings a whole host of small improvements and developments, which enrich the game without complicating it. Keep it simple without being simplistic…

One year after the release of the new edition in France, we want to offer it to our foreign customers and reach new players. We thank you in advance for your support.
