Description

In the world of Mutagen, the discovery of a powerful element known as the Great Shard has sparked a biopunk revolution, and you're one of four Mutagen vying to take over as the successor to the Keeper, the mad industrialist who controls its power. As you navigate this dark, sci-fi universe, you'll use worker placement mechanics to unlock the full potential of biological upgrades, granting your workers unique abilities and a decisive edge over your opponents. With four workers at your disposal, each reacting differently to the areas they're placed in, you'll need to strategically invest in elements, trade them for objective cards, and harness their energy to upgrade your airship and accumulate points. As the game unfolds over four years, or rounds, you'll have to balance your actions carefully to maximize your points and emerge victorious. With its customizable worker placement mechanics and immersive biopunk setting, Mutagen offers a thrilling experience for 1 to 4 players, with a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes. Designed by Alexandros Kapidakis and published in 2025, Mutagen is a game of normal complexity, making it accessible to fans of board games. Will you be the one to harness the power of the Great Shard and claim the top spot, or will your opponents outmaneuver you? In this gripping game of strategy and skill, only the most cunning Mutagen will reign supreme.
