Una campaña entera contenida en un solo libro, en la ambientación de Mutant Year: Zero, donde los PJs liderarán la resistencia de los animales mutados contra sus opresores.
Lo mejor es que es un juego completo con algunas mecánicas muy interesantes, como la de llevar los movimientos de la resistencia vs el máster, que debe hacer lo mismo con los oponentes.
Muy recomendable.

Brilliant RPG, easy to read with evocative post-apocalyptic setting. In particular, it smoothly integrates personal-level play with a strategic game that ensures the actions of the players have a genuine impact on the campaign world.
It's also written in a way that embraces how many gamers now engage with RPGs, building a detailed campaign into the rules themselves. Yes, you can continue to use the book beyond the scope of the initial campaign, but that integration makes it easy for a gaming group to extract maximum value from this book. Imagine if WotC had bundled core D&D rules within one of their hardcover campaigns, and that's what Mutant Genlab Alpha offers.
A few minor gripes, particularly around the claim made throughout that the book is standalone and doesn't require Mutant Year Zero to play, and then significant NPCs in the in-built campaign have equipment the details of which are "see Mutant Year Zero". But certainly not enough to derail play. I'm also not entirely sold of the rules themselves, but the value of this book is in the strategic/personal integration. Lots of RPGs have had long-term metaplots built in, but this is the first I've seen where the strategic goals and the actions of the player characters are directly linked with game mechanics (tho I get the impression Mutant Year Zero does the same). There's now no excuse - every game should adopt this approach.

Un excellent supplément pour l'univers Mutant Year Zero.
Cette version de MyZ permet d'y jouer des animaux anthropomorphes luttant pour leur liberté contre des robots les élevant pour servir de cobayes.
Les thèmes de ce jeux sont multiples et intéressant. La zone proposée et les différentes tribus sont superbes et donne un charme indéniable pour ce supplément.
De plus, il est accompagné d'une campagne permettant de mettre à profit ce vaste environnement de jeu. Mettant en scène des moments épiques et dangereux.
Bref, c'est un gros coup de coeur et ce dernier s'emballe car j'ai la chance de faire jouer tout ça.

Es una gran expansión del Muant; Year Zero. Aunque se puede jugar de manera independiente y sin necesidad de ningún otro libro, las nuevas opciones del Genlab Alpha se pueden acoplar perfectamente a una campaña en el Year Zero. La meta-trama es arrebatadora y el sistema de operaciones de insurgencia de los PCs vs operaciones de contrainsurgencia del GM es un añadido fenemonal. Me gusta mucho la atención e importancia a las estaciones y el clima, y los elementos que hacen que el juego tenga esa vibra animal. No puedo esperar jugar una partida.

Utrolig god rollespils historie med lidt mere faste rammer end Mutant år noll.
Og jeg elsker kattenes og rotternes interne kamp... Abernes planet nu bare med alle dyr😃
