About the game
Dr. Eureka is a fast real-time dexterity game for 2-4 players who race to rearrange colored molecules between test tubes to match a randomly revealed challenge card. Without touching the balls with bare hands, players tip and pour tubes as quickly as possible, and the first to match the pattern wins the round. First to five round wins takes the game. It's a simple, energetic party game perfect for quick bursts of fun.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team finds Dr. Eureka to be a brilliant, near-perfect party filler: the rules take thirty seconds to explain, and the tension of racing against friends never gets old. It's a great palate cleanser between heavier games and works surprisingly well across a wide age range. The science-lab theme is charming and the components are satisfying to handle.
What we like
