I am not a card game type, but this one I like. Excellent presentation, excellent idea to implement it as a board game resembling actual board games I played as a child.

How does your game fit the theme?
Main character only moves while rolling a dice and we also have many random modifiers, which are also affected by a dice roll.

Presentation is top notch, especially enjoyed the alchemists sounds haha! Quite complex but the instructions were good to solve that. The gameplay on the other hand just didn't feel fun quite yet to me, too many times it felt like the cards I have don't do anything I want them to do so I just end up doing mostly random stuff. And even with the reduction cards it felt the progress I made was much too slow to keep me interested. Maybe with enough tweaking and balancing it could become quite interesting though, just need to keep the randomness at an acceptable level.

Fearsome forestWay too many tutorial pop ups for me, I did not read them after the 3rd or 4th pop up and still understood enough to play the game. I had a good time with it drawing cards and placing them down. I was able to win after like 3 turns which I find funny considering some of the comments of people getting stuck after multiple tries. Nice entry for GMTK!

Super Barista 5000Really enjoyed the concept and the art style.
Only issue was in about 20 minutes I only drew 3 cards that reduced potion making.

Roll AgainCool idea, wasn't able to beat it after a couple tries--the yellow cards are brutal. One small bug--the card that reduces making at 70% or higher didn't trigger at exactly 70%. I really like the artstyle, and the "oioioioi" alchemist cackle.

An Ork and his DieIt is very obvious a lot of care went into this game. It is smart, fun, and very polished all around!
