Hey there, gamers! Guess what? We’re about to dive headfirst into the wild world of Soviet Siberia! You read that right, my friends. Prepare for an adventure like no other as we take a humorous and lovely journey into Elizabeth Hargrave’s latest creation, The Fox Experiment.
Now, you might be wondering, why on earth would anyone want to play a game about an obscure Soviet project to domesticate wild foxes? Well, trust me, this game is not half bad, and it’s packed with all the fun and excitement you’d expect from a board game about genetically engineering friendly foxes.
In The Fox Experiment, you’ll step into the shoes of a scientist, or should I say, a foxy genetic matchmaker. Your goal is to selectively breed the friendliest foxes over multiple generations. It’s like speed dating for foxes, except instead of swiping right, you’ll be rolling colorful dice like there’s no tomorrow.

Each dice roll represents different traits and qualities that these foxy creatures possess. We’re talking fluffy tails, floppy ears, and all the adorable features that make you go “aww.” As you successfully breed these lovable creatures, you’ll witness the magic of genetics in action, creating a new generation of cubs with their own unique attributes.
Now, here’s where things get really interesting. The Fox Experiment takes inspiration from the up-and-coming roll-and-write genre, which adds a delightful twist to the gameplay. Once you roll those dice and see the results, you’ll use a dry erase marker to note down the traits of your newly bred cub. But that’s not all! You also get to name your fox, giving you the chance to inject your personal touch and creative flair into the game. Whether you name them after rock stars or create a dynasty of Jeffs, the power is in your hands.
But be warned, my fellow gamers. The Fox Experiment isn’t just a cutesy game about rolling dice and naming foxes. It tackles some deeper themes, like the ethical implications of captivity and forced breeding. It’s like having a heart-to-heart conversation with your furry friends while strategizing your moves. It’s thought-provoking, it’s intriguing, and it might not sit well with everyone. But hey, that’s the beauty of it — it’s a game that sparks discussion and makes you think.
On December 8th, The Fox Experiment will be hitting the shelves of game retailers near you, ready to bring a touch of scientific sophistication to your gaming adventures. It’s priced at $59.95, and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. But don’t just take my word for it, try it out for yourself!
So, grab your dice, sharpen your wit, and get ready to play The Fox Experiment. Remember, it’s not just a game about breeding foxes; it’s a journey into the fascinating world of Soviet Siberia, filled with laughter, strategy, and a whole lot of foxy fun. Are you up for the challenge?
