Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein
Players take the role of rival scientists in early 19th-century Paris competing to assemble a living creature from assembled body parts. Through worker placement and resource management, they gather components from cemeteries and morgues, conduct research at the Academy of Science, recruit dubious assistants, and develop their lab to construct and animate a new being. Narrative events and surprise visits from a vengeful creature affect play, while a pursuing captain can intervene. The game ends when a creation is brought to life or the captain kills the creature; the highest-scoring scientist claims the legacy.

Josu Txasko7.0 Un euro euro con mecánicas de colocación de trabajadores que están bien implementadas con el tema de crear una criatura a partir de partes del cuerpo muertas. Unas las coges del cementerio, otras de la morgue y las más fresquitas las recién ajusticiadas con la guillotina. Todas las acciones tiene un porqué y evidentemente una razón en el track principal que es una mesa de operaciones. No me ha llegado a entusiasmar pero me lo pasé bien.
