Dr. Johann Maischberger caused a stir in the scientific academia for playing god with his experiments. The young researchers involved in his experiments were all expelled from the academia due to this unethical work.vThis incident was known as the "Biohack Incident." And then, twenty years later. Dr. Maischberger's daughter is trying to bring back the experiment back to life once again. However, the blueprints left behind by her father were incomprehensible to ordinary people. Thus, they called upon the "mad scientists," namely those who were expelled from the academia. Biohack is a medium-complexity game where players will use workers called "Noman" to procure funds and DNAs, then create new creatures. The scientists, who are the players' avatars, have various abilities. In addition, the creatures created by the experiments will also bring various beneficial effects. The game ends after the designated number of rounds or if a player able to creates 7 creatures. The players will tally all of their Evaluation Points and the player who has the most Evaluation Points wins the game. -description from designer
