Passing over the shelves full of bizarre liquids and grotesque curiosities, your eyes come to rest on an old leather book. Full of brilliant ramblings and enthusiastic pursuits, you discover a plan for a project so ambitious that you\u2019re immediately enamored by the possibilities. Like someone possessed, you can\u2019t help but give in to the stirring deep within your soul. \u201cI know what I must do,\u201d you suddenly blurt aloud. \u201cI must follow in these terrifying yet captivating footsteps. I must compete My Father\u2019s Work!\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>My Father\u2019s Work is an app and narrative driven, worker placement game where you take on the role of a family of mad scientists over 3 generations looking to bring your father\u2019s lifelong pursuits to fruition. Set in a historic, gothic, horror fantasy, your choices will change the story and the landscape of the nearby town. Complete science experiments, restrain the forming mob unglued by your bizarre antics and pass along knowledge as you slowly slip into insanity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23369&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>3 SCENARIOS, MULTIPLE PATHWAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The driving element behind My Father&#8217;s Work are the interactive storylines. Choose from 1 of 3 scenarios, each with completely unique tales. While the game\u2019s core mechanics basically stay the same, each scenario introduces new game pieces and choices creating different experiences. In the first scenario, The Cost of Disease brings yellow fever to the village. Fear of the Unknown centers around the village\u2019s accusations and fear of witchcraft. A Time of War circles around a civil war brewing between the separatists and loyalists. Choices you make during each scenario affects how it will play out, meaning each story is highly repayable and full of variations stemming from the smallest choices.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23358&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>A VISIT FROM THE GOOD SCIENTIST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each game takes place over 3 generations each comprised of 3 rounds. Your family will begin the game consisting of you, your spouse and a helper. Each character in the game has certain abilities and limitations depending on where you can visit. While you only start out with 3 workers, available characters can be unlocked increasing your actions during a given round. Players take turns performing actions until all players have passed that round.<\/p>\n<p>The play area consists of an open village map and your own castle-like manor. The village map allows you to interact with townspeople, gain resources or do various actions that will evolve as the game progresses. The village map is part of a book of many village maps that change over the course of the game as story events or player actions unfold. Visiting the manor is where you perform experiments or record knowledge to your journal. While you can\u2019t always pass along knowledge to the next generation, information recorded in your journal is shared with your future relatives.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23360&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]The heart of the mechanics revolves around placing your workers and fulfilling experiment cards. You\u2019ll receive multiple cards throughout the game that present smaller experiments ranging from things like Microscopic Experiments to Brain Transplants or Refrigeration. More extreme options might be Sinister Metal Masks, Cryogenic Chambers, the Inside-Out Crocodile or a Gateway to the Underworld. These experiments are all in addition to your master work, chosen at the beginning of the game, which is typically something more grandiose such as a Time Machine, Giant Spider Chariot or even Love Potion.<\/p>\n<p>Experiments each require hard-fought resources to accomplish but provide valuable benefits that can be used to fulfill other more complicated experiment cards. You\u2019re typically limited to the number of experiment cards you can carry over to the next generation and most often can\u2019t share ingredients with your future family. I use \u201ctypically\u201d and \u201coften\u201d because there are plenty of upgrades throughout the game that can allow you to break rules.<\/p>\n<p>As you take actions and fulfill experiments, you have the potential to stir up the town\u2019s people who may not understand your work or are just completely against it. This will be something you\u2019ll have to manage corporately as your opponents have the opportunity to affect the mob with their own actions. In addition to managing the town\u2019s people, you\u2019ll have the benefit (or unfortunate circumstance) of slowing falling into madness. This madness track can provide benefits or can lead to limitations. I didn\u2019t find this track to be too difficult to manage, but a player looking for big rewards might gamble a little harder here.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23365&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>WORKING WITH THE FINEST TOOLS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My Father\u2019s Work is a highly thematic experience, and a major contributing piece to the experience is the game\u2019s components. These deluxe-deluxe components come standard and bring a rich, engaging element to the gameplay. In addition to well-done miniature and metal coins, players will be using small, glass containers, a handful of wooden animals (all uniquely shaped), metal gears and a number of unique wooden tokens-most with screen printed graphics. No matter what anyone says, the game is worth playing just for the components alone. The production is truly a work of art and it\u2019s a joy to experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23367&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>THE STORY UNFOLDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the game you\u2019ll face choices that will affect your success as well as the direction of the story as a whole. These choices can swing the story in completely unexpected ways. I was pleasantly surprised to see a time where the story changed based solely on my father\u2019s master work that I chose at the beginning of the game or another where a random choice paid big dividends at the end. Sometimes the choices may have minor effects on the scenario and other times the results will create new and interesting ways for players to interact, score benefits or participate in unique scenario mini games.<\/p>\n<p>The app does feature quite a bit of text and some of it is narrated. I\u2019ll address this more in my final thoughts, but it\u2019s professionally done and its dark music provides a nice backdrop for the game.<\/p>\n<p>After the 3rd round of the 3rd generation, the game ends and players add their end game bonuses and any points gained through last minute story twists. The player with the most points is the winner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23356&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>ARTWORK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Similar to the components, the artwork is top notch. It\u2019s eerie and moody and further proves the production team wanted to create something that would be talked about and sought after long past the game\u2019s release.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23368&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>PROS &amp; CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2795 Beautiful production<br \/>\n\u2795 Strong theme<br \/>\n\u2795 Fairly easy game to dive into<br \/>\n\u2795\u00a0Despite only 3 scenarios there is plenty of replay ability<br \/>\n\u2795\u00a0The limited ability to transfer resources each generation creates a fun urgency<br \/>\n\u2795\u00a0Experiment cards contain tons of fun flavor text and personality<br \/>\n\u2795\u00a0While it varies per game there is a vein of humor throughout the game that I enjoyed<\/p>\n<p>\u2796 The heavy narrative slows down the game&#8217;s pace<br \/>\n\u2796 Old English used in the story embraced the theme, but limited clarity<br \/>\n\u2796 Despite amazing Game Trayz, it\u2019s still a bit of chore to set up<br \/>\n\u2796 Audio narration was only available on a small portion of the story<br \/>\n\u2796 Gameplay (especially at 4 players) can take awhile<br \/>\n\u2796 Solo mode would have increased repeat plays[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23366&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>WHY WOULD YOU LIKE THIS GAME?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a thick, thematic, narrative-driven, gothic experience\u2026 My Father\u2019s Work is probably number 1 on the list. Considering the story and components, this is truly an immersive experience. The worker placement and choices are interesting, but not over-the-top keeping the game accessible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best thing about the game is the luxurious components. Playing with glass containers and metal coins and gears makes this one special for that fact alone. The components command your attention and give you a high-art, high-end experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23363&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My Father\u2019s Work is an enormous accomplishment, but one that can be divisive. While the care put into the game is clearly visible, the story, which should be central to the experience, often ends up bogging the flow of the game down and feeling dry and drab. It\u2019s written in an old English style that, while very thematic, is often difficult to follow. Yes, I can see some players eating this up. It feels authentic to the time period and further immerses you in this bygone age. On the flip side, it&#8217;s bloated and a tad indulgent and that may be too much for players lacking the patience to follow this through.<\/p>\n<p>As a worker placement game, it\u2019s fairly standard, but well done and the wrinkles revealed by the scenarios can sometimes create exciting and unexpected circumstances. The experiment cards are each a mini set collection game that feeds into a larger tableau-builder running the length of the game. There are plenty of opportunities to enhance and upgrade your abilities. With a limited number of workers and only 9 rounds over the entire game, each action is costly and there is a nice push and pull to your choices.<\/p>\n<p>The mob and sanity tracks aren\u2019t necessarily new, but they\u2019re nice touches that keep you in check while adding extra spice to the game. These tracks seemed to come into play more on some scenarios than others and a bit disappointing when they didn&#8217;t truly effect any actions.<\/p>\n<p>Upgrading your manor can be expensive (both in coins and track positions), but can provide incredible value. There are plenty of valid paths to victory and balancing these (such as how much and how often should I upgrade my manor) is another of the half-dozen &#8220;good choices&#8221; vying for your attention throughout the game. It&#8217;s rare for anyone to have a excess of resources throughout the game, so planning and budgeting for your future projects are essential.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23361&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Where I really struggled was with the app and the story. I\u2019m not going to find fault in a few glitches on the app &#8211; I\u2019m sure they will be fixed prior to the publication of this article. What really damaged the flow of the game was the lengthy, uneventful reading between rounds and generations. It\u2019s certainly not poorly written from a technical standpoint, but the vocabulary is tough to follow and it\u2019s incredibly LONG. Even when the story inched towards being more entertaining, it always held back, taking itself a bit too seriously and never quite reached the heights I wanted it to. Some of the story lines were better than others, but I still struggled to stay engaged on the better ones. Overall the story really bogged down the pace of the game and felt way too dry for me. I found myself wanting to skip over them and get back to the gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>The app claims to have audio narrations, but they\u2019re so few and far between I was surprised when one popped up. My group was really worn out by the end of this one and it would be difficult to bring them back for a 2nd go. There were moments when it seemed the story was going to go to the next level&#8230; but then it didn&#8217;t. In the end, any good fortune the game built up was lost by end of this incredibly long exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Going into this, I wanted to snuggle with it like a mad scientist and his monstrous creation on a Friday night. The deep gothic horror setting and beautiful production and components call to me even now as I peer over the edge of this massive game box. But the disconnect from the story is going to keep this from getting the replays the designer and publisher intended. I think it&#8217;s fair to say this could be a home run for gamers fully committed to the literature and theme. If you\u2019re willing to be patient with the story there is a lot to like. The production alone elevates the game to a whole other level.<\/p>\n<p>My Father\u2019s Work definitely provided the aesthetics, but failed when it came to delivering the substance for me. Perhaps I came in with too high expectations, but I can&#8217;t in good conscious recommend My Father&#8217;s Work.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_5\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_6  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\n\/* custom css *\/\n.tdi_6,\r\n                .tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_6,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_8  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\n\/* custom css *\/\n.tdi_8{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_column_text]Publisher: Renegade Games Player Count: 2-4 Players Dedicated Solo mode: No Game Length: 180-240 Minutes Complexity 3.25\/5[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Returning home to your family\u2019s large estate, you\u2019ve quickly discovered a room full of scientific machinery and paraphernalia.
