Compounded (Board Game)
Compounded is a game about building chemical compounds through careful
management of elements, a fair bit of social play and trading, and just a bit of
luck. In Compounded, players take on the roles of lab managers, hastily
competing to complete the most compounds before they are completed by
others – or destroyed in an explosion. Some compounds are flammable and will
grow more and more volatile over time; take too long to gather the necessary
elements for those compounds and a lot of hard work will soon be scattered
across the lab.
Although Compounded does involve a fair share of press-your-luck tension and
certainly some strategic planning, the most successful scientists will often be
those who strike a good trade with their fellow lab mates. Players are able to
freely trade elements, laboratory tools, and even favors – if there is truly
honor among chemists!
