Nefarious
Become a mad scientist and race to build inventions such as freeze rays, cloaking devices, and robotic pets before your opponents. Each round, players secretly choose actions to assign Minions, earn money, gain invention blueprints, or construct inventions. Minions can provide extra income based on neighboring players’ choices. Random Twist cards change the rules and environment each game. The first player to build at least 20 points of inventions and lead the other players wins.
