Laboratory Mayhem on Kickstarter! strategy card game by CT5Holy (and others)

Hi everyone! I know I'm not around too much / not super involved in anything other than Arena, but I wanted to share with you guys the game I've been working on these last two years!

Four of my friends and I formed a small game design partnership here in California, Lixivium Games. After years of work, we are launching our first game, Laboratory Mayhem, and it's now on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/821972236/laboratory-mayhem-an-alchemical-strategy-card-game

We've got some more art since this post was first made, and a proper how-to-play video, too.

If you're at all curious about the hundreds of hours that went into the game, please visit the Kickstarter page. Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Thanks for reading, and I'll be available to answer any questions you guys have!

Looks pretty neat! Card games aren't really my thing so I can't comment much. I can see a lot of effort went into everything though, so praise be to ye for that.

This does look pretty sweet :o I'm definitely looking into this. Congratulations on making an entire game CT5 :)

Raijinili: Remember that you're telling a modding community that the game they love could use some fixing.

At the end of the day, are we not all trapped inside lemons?

Congrats, CT5! You've got FFH's support! Maybe it'll be the next MtG! ;)

Great job man! I don't really have time to play, but I'll definately buy them to support you guys. How much do the packs run on average?

Thanks for the enthusiasm and support guys! :D

Elric - packs are at stupidly high $5 (plus shipping) because that's the lowest The Game Crafter will let us sell the packs. =/

Damn, shit sure has gotten more expensive than when I was playing Pokemon and Magic as a kid (15-17 years ago)

No worries, I'll pickup a couple packs on payday.

I'd recommend getting one of the starter deck products, honestly - it comes with two decks ready to go, so all you need is a friend if you ever find time to try it out :)
It's also fairly priced (before shipping), unlike the packs =P

The 17.99 ones? That's not bad. I'll pick one up and try to find some time to play it with my brother.

Whoa, wtf, it is not supposed to be $18. Hang on, hopefully we can put it back to where it should be.

EDIT: And back to $13. Phew.

Haha. Yeah my post originally said 12.99 but I thought I made a typo when I got home so I changed it to 17.99 lol

My dreams can come true!

CT5Holy

reinoe - there already is a demo / how-to-play video! Silly me for not mentioning it (though we're hoping to do a better version soon).

Laboratory Mayhem is coming to Seattle! Members of the team will be there from January 2 - January 11, including for OrcaCon. I'll personally be there from the 6th to the 11th. We're planning to demo the game at various game stores in the area - for those in the Seattle area, let us know if any game stores stand out. And obviously, if you want to meet up and hang out that'd be pretty cool too.

More info about planned appearances on our FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1638896906372809/

Huge update - we're now on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/821972236/laboratory-mayhem-an-alchemical-strategy-card-game

Even if you're not personally interested in playing, spreading the word here and there would be much appreciated!

Looking at the Staff section, can't help but wonder which one you are?
