War! What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing! Unless, of course, you're a weapon's merchant.

Alchemist of War is a casual card game with crafting elements where you step into the shoes of an Alchemist Merchant. Your primary role is to craft a variety of weapons using an assortment of random ingredients.

The customers flocking to your shop hail from both sides of an ongoing war, but you, as the merchant, remain neutral. Your only allegiance is to profit, and the longer the conflict rages, the more opportunities arise to sell your wares.

Overview

Alchemist of War puts players in the unique position of a merchant profiting from a war. The core gameplay revolves around a card-based crafting system. Players combine ingredient cards to create weapons, which are then sold to warring factions. The objective is to achieve a high score by skillfully managing the balance of power between the opposing sides, ensuring the conflict, and your business, continues.
