Description

The brilliant Dr. Eureka has important experiments for you to complete! You must solve his scientific formulas by mixing the molecules from tube to tube without touching them with your bare hands. Transfer your molecules faster than your competition in Dr. Eureka to prove you're the smartest scientist in the lab.

The Challenge card deck is shuffled and the top card is turned face up. For fairness it is best to have the player turning the card over to count to, perhaps five, before each player, at the same time, picks up their test tubes and begins to move the balls around until they can match the Tubes shown on the card. The first to complete wins the round and the first player to win 5 rounds is the overall winner.

Quotes (from this video)

the artwork is is odd it's a bit ugly and so but in a really sort of cute way i i like it it's got a lot of personality
there's a lot of drama a lot of tension in there but it's also abstracted that it doesn't feel dark and mean and nasty
babylonia harks back to that older era where board games were trying to look serious and historical
it's a strange game in that it's got two different games essentially you know you start out playing one thing and then it switches to something else about halfway through but that switch is not clunky it feels very natural
ultimately this is a push your luck game uh which is a type of game that i really really enjoy
the game looks odd it looks like a game for children it's got this weird cartoony artwork but the gameplay is not really like that at all
this is one i frequently come back to okay a couple of times a year i'll i'll be looking for what should i play there we go if wishes were fishes
it's really good it's it's hard to explain why it's good but it's really good
i've talked previously about the fact that i like dice games that don't rely on the yahtzee mechanism and this is one of those
