You make the decisions about what parts of the virus to study, which personnel to hire and what equipment to purchase. You’ll soon discover you are working with an eccentric group of scientists who don’t always work well together—and one very resourceful lab rat named Marvin.

Maybe someday you will be interviewing me about boardgame design... :<br /><br />That Cowboy Guy<br />www.thatcowboyguygames.comThat Cowboy Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152002050413878106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406304429938109268.post-41198214861997430222011-11-26T16:22:51.144-08:002011-11-26T16:22:51.144-08:00Hi Tom,
