What is Potion Explosion?
This digital puzzle board game pits potion-making wizards against one another in turn-based matches. Each turn, you take an ingredient from a dispenser, collect matching ingredients that collide as the others slide down, and use them to complete potions for points and special effects. You can play against adjustable AI, locally with pass-and-play, or online.

- +you prefer approachable rules with tactical choices
- +you want solo AI, local, or online matches
Not for you if...
