Lab Wars - Living the Lab Life!

7.6.16

Do you miss those days of the lab, where you spent hours waiting for your gel to run or your protein to precipitate, the long talks by guest faculties and agony of waiting for your lecturer to respond to your email. You may no longer be a part of the academia but being in the lab has become easy once again.

Welcome to Lab Wars, a simple card game that takes you through the thrills (the rarity of the lab) and the chills of being in the lab and lets you live the pressures faced by Principal Investigators and the Post Docs. The game is all about building your reputation and specializing in your subject area but beware of other players who are trying to build theirs and might go to any levels to damage your reputation.

The game can be played with up to 5 players, who are part of the research team but each with unique set of skills that can enhance his/her reputation. With 80 Lab items up for grabs, you can try and get them to boost your reputation while staying guarded against the action cards that can bring you down or boost your reputation further with bonuses. The best part is that all the cards are based on real events that happen in the lab so that you can live the Lab Life again in a less than an hour. The player who ends up with the highest reputation at the end, wins the game!

But there is a small hurdle to cross. Lab Wars Card Game is still a concept. The team of Kuly Heer and Caezar Al-Jassar has put in all its efforts to design the cards, the gameplay, the beautiful box and needs your support to produce them on a large scale. Labs Wars is now Live on KickStarter and aims to raise £ 5000 to bring their dreams into reality.
