Join The Infestation—Micro Mutants Releases Soon

Making microscopic evil virus-like things cute seems to be all the rage these days. Continuing on this trend is Fantasy Flight Games' new Micro Mutants: Evolution—a card-like/board-like/miniature-battling game (eep where on earth am I going to classify this post?) in which you play a horrid microscopic army and fight it out for supremacy.

The armies of Micro Mutants: Evolution are as follows:

The Usarthopods, noble defenders of the Ameribug Way! The Flyborgs, extra-terrestrial aliens who use their unearthly technology to, you know, do… alien… stuff. Like assimilate your bugs! The Sovietopters, who will probably destroy us for failing to write their name in Cyrillics! The Chitinians, renegade slaves of the Flyborg who use their advanced biology to substitute for advanced technology!

Your bug army is printed on plastic discs that can be fired at one another (along with other kinds of ammunition) using a special plastic shooter (which is really funny, and don't worry, the game is much deeper than it sounds). The different bugs, of course, have different special abilities, and if you play the game with the maximum number of players (four), it's four-way micro-madness!
