Welcome to Ascora Games

Introducing our newest game, Nefarious, by Donald X. Vaccarino.

Available in the US in the 1st quarter of 2012.

You’re a brilliant scientist, and ok, you may be a little mad.  But who isn’t a bit frustrated these days?  At least you’re channeling your anger in a positive direction: inventing incredible devices to advance your goal of taking over the world.  Plutonium, secret lairs, and minion insurance are expensive, though, so you’ll have to research, work, and even speculate on what your enemies will do in order to raise the funds to fulfill your dastardly plans.

Nefarious: The Mad Scientist Game is a quick playing game for 2-6 players where the players race to build inventions like a freeze ray, cloaking device, or robotic pet, before their opponents can.  Your strategies to get the money to build your creations will have to vary, though, as each time you play, Nefarious will have a different environment thanks to its fiendishly clever twists.

What reviewers are saying about Nefarious:

“Gameplay is quick as lightning.  That small box has a lot of game hidden inside, the artwork throughout is gorgeous.  If you’re after a slick design that’s fun to play, this game comes highly recommended.”
- Michael Fox, LittleMetalDog.com

“The genius of Nefarious is not a scientist, it’s the game itself, which manages to pack in a lot of fun while simultaneous play keeps the game clipping, and the ease of entry means it’s one I can play with gamers and non-gamers alike.  It has a real chance to become one of my favorites.”
- Nathan Beeler, review at OpinionatedGamers.com

“The superbly fun and creative inventions are a blast.  I really enjoy the game with any number of players.”
