It's Alive!

In It's Alive, it is the turn of the nineteenth century, and mad scientists throughout Europe are competing for the infamy of being the first to create life through the power of alchemy. Using only the raw materials (provided by some dubious ?Suppliers to the Anatomical Trade?), harnessed lightning and the services of a motley crew of unattractive servants, you race to collect the eight body parts needed to create your monster and bring it to life. Unfortunately, the local peasants are particularly clumsy and tend to die in freak farming accidents? so the dubious gentlemen rarely find a whole cadaver in sufficiently good condition. Instead, they offer the parts they have managed to salvage. During each turn you may buy the offered part, sell it to an anatomist for a meager profit, or auction it trying to get a better deal (or hindering your opponents). Be careful as you pursue your macabre trade, as it might invoke the villagers? wrath! It's Alive is for 2-5 players, ages 12+ and takes 15-30 minutes to play. It's Alive includes: 60 cards; 6 each of arms, brain, feet, hands, head, heart, legs, torso, coffin, and villagers uprising; each with a numerical value, cards are 2x2 and there is a storage bag included, 5 player screens, 5 player mats with 8 spaces for cards, 5 play guides (English on one side and German on the other side), 40 tokens and a rule book in English and a rule book in German. The box is a nice compact 9"x 6"x 1 1/2" in size.
