We've played board games for many many years but found that there was nothing out there that represented the fun and wacky aspects of scientific research. The game was originally inspired by the book "The Secret Anarchy of Science" by Michael Brooks and our own personal experiences. Being a difficult and laborious industry, some famous and/or dodgy scientists have often led to underhanded tactics to get ahead of their peers. Using this as the driving force we decided that  we should create a game around this concept so that players could be devious against one another with a science theme.

 

So while on holiday in Spain the summer of 2015 we came up with the original concept of Lab Wars. We immediately soruced card, pens and scissors so that we could playtest it and pretty much spent our entire holiday playing it for hours trying to perfect it.

 

We purposefully made the game with non-scientists in mind and have playtested it for many many hours with people who are not familiar with science. We feel we have created a game that is fun, unique with mechanisms that allow replayability. We are currently in the final playtesting phase and gearing up for conventions and eventually kickstarter. In the mean time follow us on twitter or even drop us a line and say hello!
