Welcome to the Big Apple, a city rotten to its core. A high-profile politician has just been murdered, and only the Worminators can solve the case. You’re one of the hotshot detectives that have earned the title of Worminator, and you’ve been ordered by the chief to investigate this murder. If the media frenzy around the case weren’t enough to throw you off your game, the mayor’s office seems to be blocking you at every turn. Rumors run rampant that this might be… an inside job.
Worminators: Inside Job is a game Born at PAX. What does “Born at PAX” mean? We at Lynnvander Studios teamed up with the PAX team to run a panel called Design a Board Game Live. Worminators: Inside Job was conceived by the crowd at PAX West 2022. They came up with the combination of buddy cop worms, and we refined their ideas into the board game you’re holding now!
In Worminators: Inside Job, each player is a worm detective assigned to the case. You will build your own deck of Detective cards as the game advances, using them to gather evidence and bring it to the courthouse. Will you be able to assemble the clues and solve the murder before the city becomes overrun with corruption or drowns in criminal activity? Get your badge and let’s find out.
