From the publisher:
Girl Genius: The Works is a non-collectible card game that consists of several standalone decks of cards. You can play the game with any one of those decks, while also being able to combine some or all of those decks into a single deck for a longer game or a game with more players. Each deck contains many unique cards, but the gameplay is the same in all cases.
Each player gets a five-card hand and twelve cards are laid out face-down in a patchwork pattern. Each card has colored symbols along each side, as well as a point value and special instructions. On your turn, you reveal one face-down card, then spin any face-up card 180º. After spinning, if any of the symbols on the edges of the spun card match the symbols on one or more of the surrounding cards, you "pop" the card(s) with the most matching symbols. "Popping" a card means that you must follow the instructions on the card (whether helpful or harmful), then (usually) add it to your score pile. Cards in your hand are used to replace any popped cards. The game is played until one player has 70/50/40/30 points with two/three/four/more than four players.
Mechanicsburg contains many familiar cards from previous decks: Every deck has five different Agathas, for example. You'll also find Krosp, Klaus, Gil, and many other familiar faces. These are powerful but simple cards that exist across all the decks.
One of the new unique elements of the Mechanicsburg deck is a set of four quick-win cards that require very specific cards in your Score Pile. They are:
- Castle Heterodyne: If you have Agatha and Tarvek in your Score Pile right now, you win.
- Lucrezia’s Secret Lab: If you have two or more Agathas in your Score Pile right now, you win.
- Mechanicsburg: If you have Agatha and Gilgamesh in your Score Pile right now, you win.
- The Red Cathedral: If you have Zola and Martellus in your Score Pile right now, you win.
To make these alternate victories a little easier to achieve, there are four cards from the Vespiary Squad, who all move one card from another player’s Score Pile into yours. You could steal the ones that are worth more points, or steal the specific ones you need for a quick win!
