Something went terribly wrong at the lab! Now, a deadly toxin has infected your entire team and the room has been locked-down to keep the toxin from getting out. Can you figure out the Antidote before you succumb to the poison?

In Antidote, you are a laboratory scientist working for a giant chemical research conglomerate. When a deadly toxin suddenly infects you and everyone in your lab, you must work quickly to share your research and discover the Antidote before it's too late.

In the game, players take turns deciding what action all other players take: either discard from their hand or trade research with other players. Eventually all your cards will run-out and you will be left with just one that you must drink and hope its the Antidote. If this card is the true Antidote, you're cured and live to play again! If not...you die, but you can always try again!

Antidote has 6 core mechanics that make it unique, fun, and compelling: 

1. Deduction: Players live or die by deducing the one card type that has been removed from the game (similar to Clue).

2. Semi-Cooperative Gameplay: You live or die alone, but it may be impossible to deduce the Antidote without working with the other players.

3. Simultaneous action selection: Every turn involves every player. Whether it is making trades for valuable information or simultaneously declassifying your research, all players are constantly engaged. This makes the game experience more fulfilling and eliminates long-periods of down-time between turns.

4. Player-controlled game length: Players have sole control over the pace of the game. If you think you know the answer you can speed the game towards its conclusion. If not...well, don't hold your breath! No one is going to wait for you to figure it out! This element adds a feeling of tension and excitement.

5. Multiple levels of player interaction: Even a wink or a nod can have meaning in this game if you are trying to learn or pass information between players. At the same time, a blatant statement such as "Blue formulas are toxic" may have no meaning at all, but everyone will judge you by your actions (everyone can see the cards you choose to discard).

6. Surprise ending: It is unlikely that anyone can know with 100% certainty what the Antidote is by the end of the game. This means the revealing of the Antidote is often met with shouts of joy, groans of agony or other entertaining expressions of fun and players have been known to literally jump out of their seats when they find out the truth!

Backed the digital edition of Twilight Struggle.  I know a couple of other guys that have backed it as well so now there can be a Cold War going on at all times...everywhere.    Also, that "what if" random scenario generator sounds great!

I am envious of the poster in this thread that got in on the Collector's Edition tier!

Antidote looks interesting. I'll have to check out the video once we're home from the cottage.

I'm tempted to go into it. It's not that expensive to get into.

Two and a Half Days Left for the Treasure Chest Tokens!!!!
And we're down 2 people from a bulk buy...

Each chest comes (currently) with 25 tokens each of clay, wood, ore, stone, gold, and gems.

Ok, it's $29 US each if we can get a group buy of ten people otherwise it is $33 US each.  Here's the update tally for the Treasure Chest:

I also have Lori and DCStyles each adding $9 US for the Euphoria stars.  Like NeikeDjour just mentioned the hours are ticking down - 55 hours to go at this point.

It is also all being tracked on the first post of the topic. 

[Tempest]

Alright, I might as well go for two. That means we only need ONE MORE PERSON!!! :kermit:

[NeikeDjour]

Worst case I'll spring for the last one. I'm sure once we get them in (or even a little after the KS ends) someone will be asking where to get one. Maybe we should mention it tonight at the Chewsday Challenge?

[Tempest]

Couldn't hurt. I may use one, wait a bit and turn the second around for a proft.
