In Mutology, you play as a Mutologist, a bioengineer creating extraordinary creatures in your lab. You use Radiation cards to mutate specimens into unique mutants with different abilities like aggression or defense. Tactical placement in two zones shapes your strategy while competing to collect research points and be the first to reach five points.
Who Is This Game For?
Mutology targets experienced players aged 12 and up who enjoy tactical card and placement mechanics. The 40-minute playtime suits those seeking strategic gameplay without long sessions. It requires some familiarity with hand management and strategy games.
How It Works
The game combines Action Points, Hand Management, and Tile Placement. Players use Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Radiation cards to mutate specimens, which become mutants with special powers. Cards are placed in two zones—Field and Lab—affecting their behavior. Devices and assistants support your plans while you gather research points.
