Piccoli Alchimisti

This is the absolute best family game I've ever tried. Fun for kids (even younger ones at level 1-2) and for adults (especially from level 3). It mixes a cute theme with a more and more elaborated deduction activity. People are excited about making potions even when losing. The "cooperative" side (getting the keys) is also an amazing touch.

This requires an app, which I usually don't care for, but the app implementation is exceptionally good. It's kind of a legacy game inside, but nothing is destroyed as you progress the game. My kids recently reverted it back to level 1 so they could start again. It was our family's most played game of 2025 by far, and my nephew asked me for it for his birthday because he had so much fun playing it at our house. They also played it through the final level and are about to revert it. It's just overall a great game for kids and the app makes it possible to engage a pretty wide band of ages (between my kids and their cousins we had ages 4-10 at the table, all having a great time).

This game is basically made for me. I love alchemists and my oldest just turned seven and wants to game. The progression of the game resonates with him and he is excited to both open up the last little treasure box and start playing alchemists with me. Dream come true!

Liebevoll entwickeltes Spiel. Materialien sind Topp. Unsere Kinder lieben es. Das Freischalten und entdecken macht den Kindern sehr viel Spaß. Einige Bewertungen und Kommentare kann man nicht wirklich nachvollziehen. Wir Eltern (eher Vielspieler) macht es auch Spaß mit den Kindern dieses Spiel zu entdecken. CGE hat da ganz gute Arbeit abgeliefert.

I have never seen my boys this excited about a game thus far. They were all over the place, supporting each other. The winning- at least for the first Session- did not matter at all. They were tremendously supportive and extremely eager to play on with the first chest unlocked. Everything I hoped for. It seems they finally caught fire. There have been games which appealed to them before but none quite like this. So I am excited as well to see what else will come. Great great game by Matus once again.
