{"product_id":"dr-science","title":"Dr. Science","description":"\u003cp\u003eDr. Science is a \"thinky\" trick-taking game by Adam West where you don't have to follow suit, but you constantly have to choose: do you play a card to win the trick, or protect your hypothesis? The game combines classic trick-taking with building sets and runs in your own tableau, and was successfully funded on Kickstarter this past spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach scientist starts with eleven cards plus their own Researcher card. A turn follows the fixed \"PhD sequence\": first you play a card from your hand or tableau to the trick, then you may add 1 to 4 cards from your hand to your tableau to form sets and runs that earn Validation cards, and finally you draw a card from the open display or the deck. Play your Specialty suit and it becomes trump for that trick. Be careful: playing a card from your tableau can break your carefully built hypothesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beauty is in double scoring: a card you first meld and then play into a trick earns you something twice. There are almost always several good plays, but rarely a perfect one. Whoever has the most prestige at the end from Validation cards, tricks and tableau wins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spelspecialist.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59092079149388,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/2113\/8508\/files\/drscience_cover.png?v=1791993803","url":"https:\/\/spelspecialist.nl\/en\/products\/dr-science","provider":"Spelspecialist.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
