The premise is simple. Be evil, do evil manipulations of genes. But, actually, fill up coloured shapes and try to get formations. Evil-y, of course!

Components

Play area

Evil Lab just need one sheet per player. There also many variation sheets available, each need to be printed separately. Aside from that, you just need two d6s and writing utensils.

Gameplay

Evil Lab is actually a very simple game. Someone rolls two dice, and each player uses one to chose a shape and the other for option between two colours. The caveat is that no shape can be placed besides the same shape. At the end of the game, you get point for each shape, shapes that you have one of every color, and for sequences of shapes of the same color.

Solo Gameplay

No change, it’s a high score deal, with each sheet having its own specific chart.

Conclusion

If you are just foraging in the PnP world, this is a great start. Evil Lab is simple, but intriguing and fun. I also enjoy each variation, though I think it could have been implemented in a different manner, more printer friendly, but that’s a minor quibble.

Score: 7.5
