Let’s welcome our new Roll and Write family member! Hephzibah Sosing. Here are some beginning words from him:
“I am a software developer by profession. I like discovering small but thinky board games, roll-and-write included. I am from the Philippines and I am currently based in Singapore. I plan to create more maps for the Beginning Expedition and a future expansion with campaigns that will make the game a Legacy type. Also, I plan to create the following one about food delivery and maybe another one about fruit farming.”


As Thinky Filler Games, he is already running first campaign on Kickstarter, and we wish him luck and hope for many successful projects! You will find more info about the campaign below.

Table Pouch: Ironways
this one is not a typical pick for our newsletter, because it is not a Print and Play campaign.

Table Pouch: Ironways is a simple, light, fast paced game about building railways to connect locations, and bridges over other railways. Your goal is to use up all of your bridge struts first, and in the process, make an aesthetically pleasing sprawl (or absolute mess) of railway tracks on your kitchen table.

My little Evil Lab
It is a standalone version of Evil lab, with the same rules but it is much easier to manage for less experienced players. Here you have more shapes of the molecules. Since you can’t have the same shape molecules near each other the more shapes the easier it is to play.

Evil Lab: Biohazard Zone
It is an expansion for Evil lab with a new game sheet and some new rules. There are some toxic fields in your monster mixer. Your mutation strings can not go through them. Toxin in Monster Mixer blocks spaces in Monster Mixer. That means that you will place fewer Molecules in the game and you may be forced to place them in less suitable places, because of blockade.

Evil Lab: Monstrous Monster Mixer
It is an Expansion for Evil lab with a new game sheet. Rules for the game are the same, but this time the monster mixer is not in a square shape. It is prepared for more advanced players since it will be harder to manage to put many shapes of mutation strings in it.

product page


 

Evil Lab: Bio Split
It is an expansion for Evil Lab with a new game sheet. It contains Bio-Splitters in some places of Monster Mixer. Bio-Splitters work as some kind of divider and create a barrier between adjacent Molecules. Molecules divided by such barriers cannot create a mutation string. That means you may create two or more Mutation Strings even when there are molecules of the same color next to each other that are divided by Bio-Splitters.

Evil Lab: Color Rampage
It is an expansion for Evil Lab with a new game sheet. On Monster Mixer there are some colored irregular circles, each having different colors, that are called Cells. When putting any shape into Monster Mixer, you need to see if a space you want to put a Molecule into has a matching color with its Cell.

Evil Lab: Tetra Terror
It is an expansion for Evil Lab with a new game sheet. To score points, Molecules in a Monster Mixer you must create Mutation Strings in the shape of Tetrominoes instead of those from base game. Points for bonuses and rules are adjusted to fit with new shapes.
