Description

Blobs is a limited edition card game with 70 cards, each with its own unique effect and illustration. It is a short card game with a lot of interaction.

In Blobs the players are scientists working at the lab. Each scientist tries to create the best blobs and score the most victory points this way. However this is not without danger. Things can go wrong. Some blobs may be aggressive and may score negative victory points. Sometimes blobs do not survive and end up as chemical waste. But who knows? Perhaps even then any scientist can bring them back to life.

Players are taking turns in clockwise order until the end of the game is reached. During a turn a player performs actions from blobs in his/her room and plays a blob from his/her hand. Other players may optionally play a blob in response. A player executes the following four phases in his/her turn:

Phase 1: Start actions
Phase 2: Play a blob
Phase 3: End actions
Phase 4: Replenish hand

The game ends after the turn in which the active player has eight or more blobs in his/her room at end of turn. The player with the most victory points in his or her room is the winner.
