August 9, 2022 by fcostin

The board game announcements from Pandasaurus made at Gen Con are coming in thick and fast. Another title that puts the canine family as its central theme. The Fox Experiment is set to be heading to Kickstarter in September in hopes to bring foxes into the family home like cats and dogs.

The Fox Experiment // Pandasaurus Games

Taking inspiration from a long-standing scientific experiment, which focuses on the Belyaev-Trut Study of domesticating foxes. Based on a study in Novosibirsk, Siberia several scientists began to get up close and personal with these wild animals. Hoping to evolve their species into a much-loved home pet. Over time and breeding, they worked closely with the more curious kits, keeping a friendly temperament and developing the interaction between humanity and foxes. To ultimately be domesticated.

Taking the themes of friendly foxes, Elizabeth Hargrave is hopping onto her next board game in the animal kingdom. Players will be taking references from the study, placing themselves in the midst of a positive breeding program to domesticate foxes into the home. The roll and write will require players to pair up some parent pooches to breed, by the roll of the dice - the players will be presented with some precious pups.

Players will be hoping to learn from these incredible animals, hoping to produce valuable data in their studies to please patrons and rack up enough points to win. Other than the images released, we're just going to have to sit tight and wait for the Kickstarter live date to get a full grasp of the title.

Pandasaurus will be heading over to Kickstarter really soon, with The Fox Experiment heading to crowdfunding on September 6th before a retail release. As Jeff Fraser and Elizabeth Hargrave bring a fictionalised adaptation of wonderful themes building a close environment for humanity and fox-kind to leave in harmony.
