Description

Girl Genius: The Works – Castle Heterodyne is a fun and easy-to-learn card game for 2 to 4 players that can be played in just 30 minutes. The game features a modular board and is part of the Girl Genius: The Works series, designed by James Ernest. In the game, players reveal and spin cards to match symbols and "pop" cards, following the instructions on the card and adding it to their score pile. The Castle Heterodyne deck brings themes and characters from Agatha's time in Castle Heterodyne to the game, with two major blocks of cards: Prisoners and Minions. Accumulating four Prisoners can lead to a win, but it can also be painful as some Prisoners mess up the board or affect the player's hand and score pile. The Minions have both good and bad effects, with other cards providing support for them, making the game exciting and challenging for players.
