Mutagen is a strategic board game (1–4) set in a 1920s biopunk universe where the Industrial Revolution found… something it wasn't supposed to find. The Great Shard has rewritten the laws of nature, and now you are one of the Mutagen: a candidate to succeed the Keeper before his unnaturally long reign ends.

At the table, you immediately sense that rare mix: environmental horror , twisted science, and pure ambition. You're not just "optimizing": you're choosing how far to push your evolution , what compromises to make, and when to become truly dangerous. Every decision is one more mutation... and one less path for those in front of you.

Here, power isn't bought: it's cultivated. And sometimes... it cultivates you.

The heart: “double-level” worker placement

The engine is a customizable worker placement : you have four workers, but they are not interchangeable. Each placement activates the location's action and adds an extra effect related to the worker's color , so the "where" matters... but so does the "who."

And while others read the map, you build your own advantage: biological upgrades that change the way you play and make you increasingly difficult to contain.

Why Mutagen Sticks to You

🧠 “Double-level” worker placement : position + worker color, each shift weighs
🧬 Biological Mutations and Upgrades : Build a unique engine, tailored to your style
📜 Goals and investments : multi-layered points, planning and surgical strikes
🕯️ Biopunk with environmental horror : dense, rare, different atmosphere from the usual

You are not gathering resources.
You are choosing what you will become.

Between floating cities, items to collect, and investments to master key resources, the game is a race over four years (rounds) where you bet at different stages and play the ending on the wire: perfect if you're looking for a solo (or competitive) board game with tough choices, a very strong identity, and that constant feeling of "ok, now I'm becoming something."

🎯 COME SI GIOCA

How to play Mutagen:

The game takes place in a 1920s biopunk universe.
Each player has four workers who react differently to the areas they are placed in.
Players can unlock the full potential of biological upgrades by infusing their workers with upgrades that will grant them a decisive advantage over their opponents.
Players must collect items from the floating cities and use them in different ways.
Players can exchange elements for objective cards, establish dominance over particular elements with strategic investments, or harness energy to upgrade their airship.
The player who has best exploited the new powers of biopunk and collected the most points after four years (rounds) will win the game.
Players must accumulate points with every move, getting closer to victory at different stages of the game.
The game ends when the Keeper of the Sphere dies and chooses a successor from among the players.

📜 REGOLAMENTO

Mutagen English Rules

🧬⛏️ Mutagen – When progress stops asking permission

The industrial revolution didn't stop with steam. He dug. He forced. He changed.

In Mutagen the world hasn't collapsed: it has transformed. And you are one of those who decided not to back down .

Here, progress doesn't ask you "if you want." It asks you "how far you're going."

The Great Shard isn't just a discovery: it's a point of no return . It accelerated progress, deformed matter, rewrote the laws of life. And now, as the Keeper watches from the shadows, you vie to inherit control of it.

You're not a hero. You're not a villain. You are someone willing to push yourself… and pay the price for your choices.

Every enhancement is power. Every power is specialization. Every specialization is risk.

In Mutagen you don't just "place workers." You transform them. Each Mutagen reacts differently to spaces, resources and opportunities, and every biological upgrade is an irreversible decision: more power, more identity… but less margin for error .

Cities float. Factories pulsate. The depths seethe with unstable energy. The items you collect are not “resources”: they are levers of domination , fuel for the air, Keys to bigger goals. You can use everything in multiple directions… but not all at once. And this is where Mutagen comes in handy .

Because it's not a worker placement like the others: it doesn't just ask you to optimize. It asks you to identify yourself . Each game builds a different version of you: more adaptable, more aggressive, more obsessed with control. And those who don't evolve... are left behind.

There's no such thing as "playing it safe." There's only how far you're willing to go.

If you are fascinated by games where power has a price, where growing also means becoming deformed, and where every choice leaves something behind… maybe the Keeper is already watching your moves.

What makes Mutagen so “sharp”

🧬 Irreversible progression : each upgrade empowers you… and locks you into one direction
🧠 Choices that matter : it's not "how much you do", it's what you sacrifice to do it
🏭 Distorted Industry : Suspended Cities, Unstable Depths, Controlling the Right Levers
⛏️ Constant pressure : more opportunities = more decisions that really matter

You become stronger. But you also become more readable.

Who it's perfect for : If you love a strategic board game where customization is the strategy, and where the advantage comes from timing and reading the table (not from “always making the same move”).

Solo is not “relaxing”: it’s surgical. You have room to build, but the pressure remains there… to remind you that every mistake costs the future.

You're not improving a character. You're deciding what he'll become.

Mutagen does not promise you clean progress. It offers you power, it offers you tools… and then it watches you choose. how much of yourself you are willing to change to win.
