Jump into the shared competitive laboratory of CoLab, to build your own engine of potions, monsters, and devices.

Build your own pool of resource dice or utilize what others leave behind to build your creations as the lab expands with more opportunities. Send minions, collect dice, and build your collection to best your competition and become the most renowned scientist in CoLab!

In CoLab players compete by sending minions to gather resources, moving their scientists around the laboratory to build cards, add new dice to their dice pool, and trigger special actions. Each turn your will send or retrieve one of your minions to gain resources and then move your scientist to perform a collect or build action.

First, send or retrieve your Minion. Turns alternate between sending a Minion with your dice to a tower space and calling a minion back, always leaving at least 2 minions on the board. Each time a Minion is sent or retrieved from a tower space you will select one of the two actions listed on that specific tower to gain cards, gain potion tokens, or refresh exhausted dice.

Second, send your scientist to a laboratory space to take a collect or build action.

Put adjacent minions to work during a Collect action. Use your minions and your opponent’s minions to collect dice, cards, and resource tokens.  As the lab expands utilize special lab upgrades to trigger card abilities, gain renown, and much more.

Build Cards using resources from your pool and resources from minions on the board, whether they are your minions or your opponents.

Build a grid or tableau that grants new abilities, triggers special effects, or gains even more renown. Each card can use or be used by adjacent cards in your tableau, enhancing their abilities.

As the game progresses the labs will gain upgrades that provide new opportunities for all players.

When a player builds their 12th card the end of the game is triggered and the game ends after completing any remaining turns in the round. Add the renown your cards score, any you scored during the game, and any from your secret bonus and the player with the most renown wins.
