   Originally play-tested this with Eric WAY back when (before it got sent off to Grey Fox Games). Was a lot simpler back when I was play-testing, but I do enjoy the various roles for the characters and the meta-game of finding the universal cure (those are new from when I first played). Similar to in Spirit Island, there are SO many different ways to increase the difficulty of the game and I do appreciate that there are many ways to play, including NOT real-time and also stacking them horizonatally on the table. This game fills in for games like Rush MD or Kitchen Rush, but the rules overhead is FAR FAR simpler and this game could really be taught to anybody. Excited to try the expansion and even more good stuff!

   Innovative, unique cooperative game that mxies dexterity and puzzles by R. Eric Reuss (Spirit Island) where players design cures in real-time with colored, wooden blocks. [b]I like:[/b] + Thematic gameplay: finding a cure for a desease by creating the right combination. + Combines puzzles with dexterity building blocks. + Besides the dexterity puzzle you also a zig saw puzzle with Germ tiles. You collect big tiles (common lab) and small tiles (private lab) and have to balance what tiles to collect. + Extremely variable and customizable mechanics: goals, playstyle, difficulty. + Real-time is optional: you can also play without it. + Characters provide special abilities. + Really cooperative game: Players may have different responsibilities and check each other's work like in real life laboratories. + Play quickly. [b]Neutrals:[/b] # Artwork and characters are a bit funky, not so serious. # Luck of the draw (events, mutations). # App integration (events, fun comments). [b]I do not like:[/b] - Dexterity or real-time games are not everyone's favorite mechanics. - Text format and design looks a bit cheap on some card types.
