About Alarún
Under the watchful eye of the old druid Alarún, you will collect mysterious ingredients, obtain the rarest herb and mix and match them into powerful potions. Secretly score bonus points and take over Alarún's migthy staff as the best druid apprentice. The game of Alarún plays in 8 rounds, each in the same way. In these 8 rounds you place 24 ingredients that form your magic square of 5x5 cards. Your druid apprentice completes your magic square. During a round you chose 1 of the 3 available actions. Swap 1 ingredient from your hand with 1 of the 3 ingredients that are face up in the centre of the table. Pass Do not swap an ingredient. Swap and pass: Swap all 3 ingredients from your hand with all 3 ingredients that are face up in the centre of the table. This is a pass at the same time. As soon as a player passes every other player can take 1 more action. Score most points by brewing powerful potions and scoring bonus points along the way. During the game you collect 24 ingredients and combine them in the best possible way into your own magic 5x5 square. At the end of the game your magic square is complete. The ingredients in every row and every column form potions that will score you points, based on the prerequisites.
