It is a competitive game for 2-6 players. Game mechanics include card drafting, modular board, variable player powers, and an action point allowance system. Play time is 45-75 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You play as an Exterminator who specializes in the elimination of a particular type of Pest: <b>Flying Bugs, Creepy Crawlies, Winged Beasts, Vicious Vermin, Unwanted Guests, or Spooky Specters<\/b>. You\u2019ve been hired to clear your type of pests out of a house, but when you arrive, you discover that the house has other types of infestations. The homeowner\u2019s hired several other exterminators, each with a different specialty, and only the first to complete their job will get paid!<\/p>\n<p>A pledge of $39 gives all that is pictured below with shipping included!<\/p>\n<p>Go check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/scgames\/pests\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter page<\/a> and they have 3 days left and you can help them to some very cool and reachable goals!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/51c6eeb4b47b8b041f1078c228ad8ee1_original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-759 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/51c6eeb4b47b8b041f1078c228ad8ee1_original.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/51c6eeb4b47b8b041f1078c228ad8ee1_original.jpg 680w, http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/51c6eeb4b47b8b041f1078c228ad8ee1_original-300x204.jpg 300w, http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/51c6eeb4b47b8b041f1078c228ad8ee1_original-338x230.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-760 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"1488\" srcset=\"http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original.png 680w, http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original-137x300.png 137w, http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original-468x1024.png 468w, http:\/\/talkingnerdy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dec37ffdd8ed0aa6052b5def3d41729d_original-105x230.png 105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Until next time <em>May the Nerd be with you!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am always looking for a great tabletop game that steps outside the box and offers something different.
