In Girl Genius: The Works, each card is a cog in a giant machine made up of a twelve-card tableau. On their turn, players flip, spin, and “pop” cards, which interact in different ways. Depending on the situation, cards can pop individually or in chains, giving you extra points, more cards, or something else entirely! The first player to 70 points wins!

Four different 60-card decks, each representing a major arc of the Girl Genius story, are currently available, though you need only one deck to play. Each card features unique, never-before-seen illustrations by Studio Foglio, the creative machine behind the steampunk webcomic Girl Genius. The Castle Wulfenbach deck has two large groups of unique cards, Jägermonsters and Dingbots, that add to game play.

Jacob X. ★★★★★

The twelve-card tableau mechanic took a round to click, but once I saw how the flips and pops chain together I couldn't stop playing. Castle Wulfenbach deck has a nice mix of cards that mess with your opponent's machine.

Joshua L. ★★★★★

Popping and spinning the cards feels weirdly satisfying, like actually turning gears in a machine. The flip-and-pop interactions keep every turn interesting since one move can set off a chain across the whole tableau. Played three rounds straight the first night.

Olivia ★★★★☆

Popping cards off the tableau is weirdly satisfying once you get the spin and flip rules down. Took my group two rounds to stop confusing the cogs, but the art is gorgeous and matches the comic perfectly. Just wish the rulebook were a bit clearer on the interactions.
