Along the same lines in theme with crafting potions for sale, you may find Alchemists [1] enjoyable as it's a game of deduction however you can still press-your-luck once you've reduced possible solutions into a tolerable risk. This allows for very methodical play to be rewarded but still allows those who are willing to gamble for leg up which can be a fun dynamic to balance.

One recommendation if you do play is to download the companion app. The game in essence requires a third-party player to validate potions with hidden solutions for the other palyers. The app takes care of role so everyone involved can be playing the game.
