Mad Scientist University

Author: Zachary Anderson

Features:

• A party game originally from Raiding Party Games, and republished by Atlas Games in 2007, Mad Scientist University is a storytelling game where each player in turn takes on the role of an evil genius Teacher's Assistant (TA) at the Mad Scientist University.
• Each TA holds a class challenging the students (everyone else) to come up with a way to meet a goal given certain elements listed on distributed cards (Create Perpetual Motion with Lawn Gnomes, for example).
• Each student brainstorms and then gives a short presentation detailing their plan, and the TA awards the card with the goal to the 'best' plan by whatever criteria the TA wishes (evil geniuses get to be snarky, after all).
• The winner is the student with the most won goal cards after everyone has led a course.

Details: Polish up your laser gun, get your maniacal laugh ready. You're about to enroll in Mad Scientist University! Whichever student devises the most evilly ingenious schemes will pass with honors. The rest will be set home ... in boxes ... one piece at a time. Mad Scientist University is a storytelling party game for 3 to 7 people. Players all receive one Unstable Element card, like "lawn gnomes," "marshmallows," or "squirrels." Then they each present a cunning plan to achieve the group's Insane Assignment using their Element: Journey to the center of the earth using tunneling mechanical lawn gnomes ... Win the presidential race with mind-altering marshmallows ... Take over the world with your army of vicious mutated squirrels. Your sinister plot knows no bounds!

The TA for the round awards the Assignment card for the "best" plan, using whatever demented, totally unreasonable criteria he sees fit -- evil geniuses are like that. The player with the most Assignment cards wins!
