Was pointed your way by nausved....

Thanks for Mad Scientist University! We finally got it out (after 1.5 years of sitting on the shelf, passed over for Catan, RoboRally, etc) last night for our regular games night, and it was well received. I have expansions I'll have to add in, now, but the base game was really cool. It was weird opening the envelopes and peeling the cards apart, because I really wanted to flip them over and read them....

since I'm a fan of Catan and RoboRally myself, but when it's Mad Scientist time, you really can't beat it. Chuckles for hours on end.

We here at Mad Scientist University have been happy to provide you with a mind-expanding experience that had nothing to do with hallucinogens mixed into the ink, or mind control devices aimed towards the tracking devices in the cards. Honest.

I'll be showing up at I-Con in New York this April, and DragonCon is my regular stomping ground now, although I won't be boothing since Atlas bought the game (unless they have some sort of sinister plots of which I do not know).

Anyways, I'm glad you liked it, thanks for letting me know. It definitely swells the head warms the heart. And there was one other thing. What was it. Ohh yeahhh...

Zombies!

Mad Scientists have the best brains!

Is Atlas going to bring out the expansions, or are they in the base kit now? How do the cards differ (just 'card' versus 'card stock' feel)?

Since you're somewhat local, you'll have to visit with us sometime! Alas, we just had the big sushi night this month, but we do have regular board games on wednesday nights if you want to get out!

Are you friends with Michael or Sasha? I don't have any direct contact with nausved. However it is, I'll see about stopping by.

I'm not certain who Michael or Sasha are, but I might know them.... I know a Sasha, at least, that does pirate things. Such is the circles in which I travel.....

Sorry, I just realized I skipped questions here...

The Atlas version has plastic-coated cards, card art, and a box. They are interested in expansions, but they want to see how it sells, first. I'm not sure how they plan on accommodating the expansions with the box in such a case.

My initial release of base set + 15 expansions all at the same time was probably more than a little crazyambitious. But hey, you never know.

Thank you for that! I'll have to buy them just to make them come to you for your expansions...

(games night, still every Wednesday!)
