The Journeyman mode is the fourth mode of play of Shardws of Alchemy. This is a mid-level complexity game format. This mode changes the structure significantly from the previous "Magi" mode. In this format, each turn the players will either draw a few cards or buy founts, only doing one of these two actions. The element engine is a player's founts purchased, and eccelerates dramatically toward the end of the game. The score is simply the total value of all a player's founts, plus 2 points for each color of fount elements they have the most of. A great game to jump into for long-time gamers that enjoy economy games and puzzle games.
