The greatest inventors in history join forces in Bombyx’ new Legendary Inventors card game, entering distribution through Asmodee NA in Q4.

In Legendary Inventors, each player has a team of four famous inventors, from the likes Johannes Gutenberg and Isaac Newton to Marie Curie and Nikola Tesla.  Combining the skills of their inventors, the players work in collaboration with each other to create inventions during three Ages, such as windmills and photography.  But, only one player can claim the patent, and thus the victory points, for a completed invention.

The game comes with 20 inventor tiles, 36 invention cards, 85 tokens, 75 wooden cubes, 1 plastic figurine, and a bag.  It is designed for 2 to 5 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in about 40 minutes.  MSRP is $39.99.

Asmodee will demo the game at Gen Con next week.  It will release in Q4.

Asmodee has announced two other Q4 releases recently:  Conan (see “‘Conan’ Board Game is $100+”) and 7 Wonders Duel:  Pantheon (see “Award-Winning ‘7 Wonders Duel’ Gets Godly Expansion”).
