Weather Machine

Weather Machine

“Natural disasters will soon be a thing of the past!” exclaimed Professor Sêni Lativ, head of the meteorological manipulation project at Lightning Technologies. Tests of his new invention, the Weather Machine, showed positive results. Visions of holding back floods, taming cyclones and ending droughts made him smile.

Weather Machine - a board game about science

In Weather Machine you step into the shoes of one of the scientists working with Professor Lativ. You have to manage your own laboratory, earn vouchers you can spend at other locations, build bots, buy chemicals and expand the size of your workshop. That is a lot, but you need it all to store your resources and build prototypes in the end!

Publishing is a skill you can learn

Once you have done enough research into a certain type of weather, you will want to publish an article on the subject. After that you have to build a prototype to help solve part of the extreme weather. The source of this extreme weather? Lativ's faulty Weather Machine and his half-baked experiments.

Nobel Prize, anyone?

Your research into the flaws of Lativ's Weather Machine will hopefully lead to breakthroughs that help humanity correct extreme weather for good. Well, that is rather noble. And it can even win you a, yes indeed, Nobel Prize!
