Alchemists: The King's Golem, an expansion to Alchemists, gives you a new logic puzzle with new rewards and consequences. Can you work out how to animate a golem? And also equally important, can you convince the king you are making progress?

The King's Golem actually includes four expansions:

• In Startup Funding, players get an opportunity to customize the initial resources in their laboratories.
• The Busy Days expansion makes every round different by offering new rewards (and new costs!) on the order spaces.
• The Royal Encyclopedia provides an entirely new venue for publishing your research.
• And in The Golem Project, players will have the challenge of animating a creature made from magic and clay.

The expansions are listed in order of complexity. Startup Funding and Busy Days are just fine for beginners. The Royal Encyclopedia is for players used to the logic puzzle of the base game. The Golem Project is designed for advanced players who want a new deduction challenge.
