A 2 player tile laying game about building a steampunk automaton
It's the futuristic Victorian era & the age of steam & robotics has arrived.
You are Junk-Smiths who have challenged each other to a Automaton making contest. Your task is to weld together the finest Bone Machine the bone yard has ever seen.
Scour the bone yard for junk parts (chassis, head units, vision systems, the usual), chain them together with gears, and claim the successfully repurposed parts with tokens.
But beware: your rivals may damage your recycling efforts with malfunctions or corrosion, reducing your masterpiece to scrap.
Deploy repairs to rectify their sabotage or eliminate the parts & tally the subsequent loss of days on the Time Track.
When the fifth day has been lost, the game ends & the Junk-Smith with the most successfully repurposed parts wins.
Welcome to Your Monster-Making Lab!
Calling all mad scientists, surgeons & monster builders! Welcome to Bleakwood Hospital, the weirdest workshop on Earth.
Your Mission: You're a brilliant (and slightly bonkers) scientist. Your job? Build the most amazing, outrageous, and totally unique creature ever seen! Think Frankenstein's monster but much cooler.
How to Build Your Masterpiece:
Go on a Treasure Hunt: Raid the stacks to collect the best Body Bits you can find on top. Squishy brains, beating hearts, googly eyeballs, you name it!
Connect the Parts: Use stretchy Arteries like rubber bands to chain your bits together and claim them for your creation.
Watch Out for Rivals! The other surgeons are jealous! They might try to infect your awesome monster with Necrosis or Poison to make it rot.
Fight Back! Use special Remedy cards to clean off the gunk & your rivals tokens, or use your steady hand to surgically remove the icky bits. Keep track of all the messy accidents on the Death & Decay Track.
The Game ends when the 5th Skull n Bones is on the death n Decay track or all of your tokens are on the board.
The Surgeon with the most tokens on the board at the end of the game is declared Top Mad Scientist!
Are you ready to build a monster from the inside out?
This game is a Variant of Bone Machine - just the theme and story are different.
Welcome to Bleakwood Hospital, where Victorian medicine is highly experimental, quackery is rife & the patients are in pieces.
It's the Victorian era. Whilst whiling away the hours with your colleagues over a cup of tea you decide to challenge each other to a monster making duel. You are surgeons of dubious repute, your task is to stitch together the finest (or most horrifying) specimen the afterlife has ever seen, from the inside out. Scour the morgue for Body Bits (hearts, brains, eyeballs, the usual), chain them together with Arteries, and claim them with tokens for your twisted entertainment.
But beware: rivals may infect your organs with Necrosis or Poison, reducing your masterpiece to rot. Deploy Remedies to purge their sabotage or surgically remove them & tally the casualties on the Death & Decay Track.
When the fifth lump of flesh hits the slab, the game ends & the surgeon with the most successfully harvested tokens wins.
Will you pioneer a medical marvel or leave behind a stack of necrotic parts?
