SPIVS is great. And loaded with jokes that went way over my head when I first played it as a teenager, such as featuring an alien that died if it met another alien and calling it an "Ankorite".

Elixir ... isn't great. It's nothing to do with analysis or imbalance but simply the fact that the first player who discovers an Elixir ingredient almost always wins. That renders it not even worth playing for a funny theme.

Yes but buying up all of the key ingredients for the Elixir of Life is bad etiquette for any Wizard (or gamer ) worth his salt.
