In the 19th century, alchemy stood at the crossroads between mysticism and science, weaving together fragments of modern knowledge with the secrets of ancient traditions. Though its golden era has faded into history, the pursuit of ultimate wisdom-the power to defy nature itself and forge the Philosopher’s Stone-still endures.

A new generation of daring scholars now follows the path of Hermes Trismegistus, driven by an unquenchable thirst for discovery and mastery. To some, these visionaries inspire awe; to others, they awaken fear. As you begin your own journey into the arcane art of alchemy, your task is to unravel the mysteries concealed for centuries and rise above your rivals to claim the title of the greatest alchemist of all time.

In Trismegistus, players embody 19th-century scholars who stumble upon the lost writings of Hermes Trismegistus and strive to replicate his legendary formula for the Philosopher’s Stone. Over the course of three chapters in their scholarly journey, they will push the boundaries of alchemy-carrying out daring experiments, shaping raw metals into new forms, and drawing upon the arcane powers of ancient artifacts.

Victory comes from publishing groundbreaking research, mastering the primordial elements, and advancing furthest in the pursuit of the Philosopher’s Stone.

This new edition introduces a streamlined ruleset, making the game more approachable while preserving its rich strategic depth.
