About the Game

You are a cunning alchemist, a wielder of one or several of the Six Disciplines. Create fantastical servants, potent spellbombs, transmutations, and nexuses within your laboratory—then use them to reduce your rival's lab to rubble!

Construct a deck of cards representing your laboratory, each card a room that can contain an alchemical recipe, reagents, or workspace: every card in this game can be played in any of three different modes. Combined with our flexible resource system, this means no dead turns. There's always a use for what's in your hand... but finding the optimal use will be necessary if you want to excel at competitive alchemy.

Master Combustion, Metallurgy, Reanimation, Astrology, Naturalism, Toxicology, or ANY combination thereof, and use their power to attack or otherwise damage your opponent's lab. Your goal? Empty their deck, destroying every room in their laboratory. Alternate turns gathering reagents, playing recipes, and attacking with your servants.

Laboratory Mayhem is a game of complex strategy. Experienced players are constantly discovering new strategies and tactics. For new players, there are entry-level duel decks designed to let you jump in immediately and learn as you go. This game is designed for 2 players to go head to head but is playable with any number, and our team and fans are always thinking up new formats. Lab Mayhem can be bought in sets, so, while you can trade with other players, you can also get all the cards you want up front for a reasonable price.
