CMON Gizmos Board Game (2nd Edition) | Science-Themed Strategy for 2-4 Players | Ages 14+

Step into the Great Science Fair with CMON Gizmos, a science-themed strategy board game designed for 2-4 players ages 14 and up. Your mission is to assemble the most impressive gizmo by collecting energy marbles from a compact energy dispenser and weaving them into inventive machines. As you add gizmos, parts interact and spark chain reactions, producing moments of surprising momentum that keep the table buzzing from turn to turn. The tactile components and vivid artwork invite hands-on experimentation, creating a tangible sense of invention as you test ideas and refine your design under pressure.

Gameplay centers on smart planning and dynamic reactions. You’ll plan ahead as gizmos connect, and the energy marbles you collect fuel your builds, encouraging careful resource management. Engines and gizmos accumulate victory points, guiding your strategy toward the most efficient machine by the end of the round. The goal is clear, but the path is rich with choices, making each session feel distinct as you adapt to new gizmo combinations and deck options.
