My Father's Work

In My Father's Work, players take on the role of mad scientists, each inheriting a diary from their father and an estate full of mysteries. Here, creativity and madness meet as you seek to carry out intriguing and often dubious experiments. Each round, you earn points by completing experiments, contributing to the city's projects and improving its grotesque installations. The challenge is not only in innovation, but also in management: at the end of each generation, the fruits of your research and resources dissipate, leaving only the "Knowledge and Registered Property" to pass on. This means that, over the course of three generations, you and your competitors not only try to be the best scientist, but also deal with the consequences of your creations, which can incite the population to revolt or even lead to madness. At the end of the game, whoever has accumulated the most points will stand out as the most respected and feared scientist in history, having contributed to both science and chaos. Get ready for a game of strategy that combines laughter, tension and a dash of insanity - because, after all, what would science be without a bit of audacity?
