Step into the cutting-edge world of genetic manipulation in Next-Gen, a thought-provoking tabletop role-playing game for 5 players.

You and your teammates work in a state-of-the-art genetic manipulation laboratory, each bringing your unique expertise to the table. Play as a Neuroscientist, Chemist, Zoologist, Security Expert, or Mechanical Expert, collaborating to tackle complex cases involving the genetic modification of animals for various needs.

In each session, players take turns presenting a new case. Your mission is to assess the ethical implications, determine the scientific feasibility, and navigate the moral dilemmas of genetic manipulation. Every decision you make will spark deep conversations about the responsibilities and boundaries of science. 

As you manipulate genetics to achieve specific goals, you’ll explore critical questions: Is genetic manipulation of animals ethically justifiable? Should it be pursued at all? Who holds the authority to make these decisions?

Next-Gen challenges players to confront these issues head-on, making it an engaging experience for those passionate about science, ethics, and the future of biotechnology.
