About the game
What you do in a play session
In Mutants, you step into an arena where genetics is your greatest weapon. With 1 to 4 players, the goal is to create the most powerful warriors by combining unique abilities and dominating the battle. Each round is a chance to improve your deck, move your mutants, and secure victory points. The game unfolds over five rounds, where you can deploy new mutants, breed genes to create even stronger monsters, or incubate cards for future rounds. At the end, the mutants you’ve frozen in your archive also score points, so strategy is key. Besides the multiplayer mode, Mutants offers a solo mode called Uprising, where you face off against a powerful boss. Here, the goal is to reduce the boss’s life to zero, using your skills and strategy to win. With deck-building, hand management, and variable player powers, Mutants is a game that combines strategy, luck, and a bit of genetic chaos.
