Tesla - Master of Lightning is a very high-voltage game of cards. Each player will attempt to win tricks to win more cards that they can add to their own deck to use in later rounds. Thus, it’s both a trick-taking game and a deck-building game.
The cards depict events in the amazing life and times of Nikola Telsa, the scientific genius who essentially invented the modern world. Some of Tesla’s obsessive quirks are integrated into the game, including a penchant for three-ness. By the end of the game, players will score with Power Cards, Positive and Negative Cards, and perhaps with their Suits as well. In keeping with the theme, the points are measured in Millions of Volts (A.C., of course).
This DELUXE package contains 144 cards, which is suitable for 5 or 6 players. By pulling 36 of the cards from the deck (cards with red accent colors) the game plays best with 2, 3, or 4 players.
(The 2-to-4-player basic version AND the 36-card 5-to-6-player expansion are also available separately here at The GameCrafter.)
