Girl Genius, a fabulous comic series by Phil Foglio, is available
from Studio Foglio, at www.studiofoglio.com.
Girl Genius: The Works is the companion card game by James
Ernest Games. The Works contains a 108-card deck in glorious
full color.
Game Synopsis: The players are tinkering
with a big machine made of all the characters and machines in the world.
The machine is a board made of twelve cards, and players take turns
flipping and spinning these cards trying to fix the machine. When you
make the right moves you "pop" pieces out of the machine and keep them,
and you might even cause a chain reaction that pops several more pieces
at once.
Girl Genius: The Works is one of James Ernest's personal
favorites, because of its exceptional strategic options (despite
its apparent randomness) and all the art he painstakingly
colored. Plus, it was nominated for two Origins Awards in
2001: Best Abstract Card Game and Best Graphic Presentation
of a Card Game. Why, the only thing better would have been
to actually win.
