''It's Alive!'' is a light set collection and auction board game designed by Yehuda Berlinger published in 2007 by Reiver Games in English. A second edition, also by Reiver Games, with both English and German rules was published in 2008. Players assume the roles of mad scientists racing to create a monster from body parts and bring it to life. ''It's Alive!'' can be played by two to five players and takes around 20 to 45 minutes to play. A third edition with a family-friendly Hanukkah theme (actually, the original mockup theme) was published in 2013 as Candle Quest by Victory Point Games. ==Gameplay== Players take turns to choose a card and then play it. The game ends when one player cries out ''It's Alive!'' after collecting the eight body parts needed to bring their monster to life. First a player must choose a card by either: * Turning over the top card of the deck, for free; * or, buying the top card out of a player's discard pile (known as their ''graveyard''). In the third edition, the player simply buys the card to their stockpile directly our of a discard pile for one and a half times its face value and ends their turn. Once a card has been chosen players then have three options: * Buy that card at its face value, by paying money from their stockpile of cash to the bank; * Sell that card to the bank, adding it to the top of their ''graveyard'' and taking half the value of the card from the bank; * Or auction it to the other players, saying what they are prepared to pay, and giving each player one chance to out-bid them. In addition, there are two special cards: the coffin, which is treated like a wild card, and can be used instead of any body part card, and a ''villagers' uprising'' which represents irate villagers who need to be appeased by paying them off. Duplicate cards and bought-off villagers can be used to pay for other villagers or to buy cards out of a discard pile. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It's Alive!
