What Grime&Gold is NOT

Discover many cards and recipes 

Want some ingredients for your potions ? Manage your ressources and go to dungeons to find rare ones. If you manage well, you'll complete quests and get rewarded ! If you don't, be prepared. By progressing toward the holy grail, you'll discover more recipes, and more places to learn from... or to die from.

Make potions and serve clients

A good alchemist should always thrive in discovering new weird brews. Use your ingredients in the right way with your trusty cauldron to make potions and whatever the clients need, because in here, the client is king, and a bloody one... You can also hire gobelins to work for you and keep yourself safe from those clients.

Find new recipes

Open your grimoire and find how to make everything that the clients need, and maybe find new potions to make ! You can also check some hints and scribbles that Calis put there just in case... and collect all the cards !
