Mayday Games plans to bring Nerdy Inventions, a card game from Taiwan publisher Homosapiens Lab, to the U.S. with a release in Q4.

Nerdy Inventions is the creation of Chih-Fan Chen (Flip City).  Players try to prove that they are the “nerdiest” inventor by using dice rolls to build new inventions, then using those inventions in later turns to manipulate their dice so they can create even greater inventions.  Victory points are earned for the inventions, and for collecting sets of related inventions.

This game includes 36 cards and 4 dice.  Nerdy Inventions is intended for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up, and plays in about half an hour.  MSRP has not been announced.

Mayday Games will fund the project through a Kickstarter campaign launching later this month.  Nerdy Inventions will follow Mayday’s Summer release of Voodoo (See “Mayday Brings the ‘Voodoo’”).
