BIOTIX
game by Zach Huff, is published by Smirk and Dagger Website Games. 2-5
players can join the fun. Players in this game will take on the role
of lab assistants to a world renown microbiologist. They will try to
grow a culture of highly unstable and volatile biotic microorganisms,
known as BIOTIX over 3 days of research. they will have to be careful
as their are fellow lab assistants who may try to sabotage experiments
to cause a bio-reaction or an explosion. The player that scores the
most points, publishing the best paper on BIOTIX will be declared the
winner.
Each player will be given a petri dish card which they should place in
front of them. A characteristic card should be placed between players
for reference. All of the purple, red, green, blue and yellow BIOTIX
should be placed into a specimen bag. The black BIOTIX are not to be
used except with the advanced game.
The first player is chosen and given the timer token which they will
then place on the 3 spot of the countdown track on their petri dish
card. They are also given the specimen bag.
On each player’s turn, they will draw 2 BIOTIX at random from the
specimen bag. The player will place the BIOTIX they drew, one at a
time onto either their petri dish card or give them to an opponent
who must place it on theirs. Every time that a BIOTIX is placed on a
petri dish card, that player must check to see if there are any
bio-reactions. These will happen whenever there are more BIOTIX then
there are spaces to place a particular color. This is known as the
trigger number. Players must then resolve the effect of the particular
BIOTIX type as noted on the characteristic card. This may cause chain
reactions and each reaction must be resolved before resolving a new
reaction. Once there are no more reations to resolve, the player
passes the specimen bag to the next player in turn order. When the
time token moves off the 1 space, it is placed into the specimen bag.
This happens before drawing new BIOTIX.
The BIOTIX game will continue until the timer token is drawn from the
specimen bag. This signals the End of the Day. Any BIOTIX tokens that
were drawn with the timer token are put in the garbage.Any time a
BIOTIX is put into the garbage, it will be placed into the
bio-containment box where it will be hidden. The player that drew the
token then places it on the 3 spot of their countdown track. Player
will then score the BIOTIX that they have cultivated on their petri
dish by adding up the points for each on their petri dish card.
Players will then choose 2 BIOTIX on their petri dish card and put
them in the garbage.. All BIOTIX that were put in the garbage and any
of them that were placed into the bio-containment box are then placed
back into the specimen bag. The bag should then be shaken to shuffle
up the tokens. The specimen bag will then be given to the player with
the timer token on their petri dish card, meaning a new day of
research.
Another great game to add to your families collection of games. This
is one your older teens an adults will love.
Curt is the founder, creative force and jack-of-all-trades at Smirk &
Dagger. In an alternate universe, he’s an art director, a copywriter,
a marketer and a concept director. Like that guy that shows up two
hours before the party starts, Justin was at Smirk & Dagger from the
beginning. Irascible and acerbic, some say he's the Dagger to Curt's
Smirk. They're Smirk & Dagger Games. They know why you play games.
It's the same reason they do. They love to taunt. To instigate and
watch the sparks fly. They love 'opportunity fire' and the taste of
revenge. They know games are a lot more fun when you can stab a friend
in the back. And they have built their company on it... 'cause, hey,
it's just a game.
