  Players step into the boots of Park Rangers, whose expertise in botanical alchemy transforms the wilderness into a sanctuary for healing. With the roll of the dice, players gather extracts from the park's flora, concocting potent potions to treat the ailments of animals from different biomes. Successfully healing animals and performing experiments earns points, directly reflecting your role in maintaining the park’s well-being. Aim for animals in similar habitats to unlock bonus points, reflecting the depth of your commitment to conservation. Or, take the path of experimenting to find new potions. Parks & Potions plays over 5 rounds (6 in a 5-player game), each representing a day of work. The game is divided into phases where players roll dice to discover flowers to extract, manage their inventories, and use potions to fulfill objectives and cure animals. Strategic potion mixing and objective completion are key to becoming the most renowned ranger. The player with the most points at the end of the game is crowned as the guardian of nature!
