    Description

    Every want to have you very own Trans-Aether Relocator? How about an Elemental Transmorgrafier? Of course you have, who hasn't?

    So gather your components, pass that Esotheric Oscillating Pork Wrench and get to confabulating something amazing! ... Oh, and keep a fire extinguisher handy. Easy and quick to learn, light and fun game.

    Players build a Contrivance by installing and configuring Component Tiles of dubious value on a Workbench grid. They compete against each other to keep higher value Component Tiles by Interlocking them using the actions of the Hilarious Tool Cards they are dealt on each turn. Tiles can be moved, rotated, exchanged or even altered in point value depending on the card that is played.

    The game ends when a Switch On card is pulled that causes the Contrivance to be activated and the Components are tested. Components that don't blow up and survive activation on each Builder's row are totaled. The Builder with the most points wins!

    This is a hand crafted game, made to order with beautiful, engraved wooden components.
