Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game | A Science Accurate Strategy Board Game About Building Proteins, Carbohydrates, Enzymes, Organelles, & Membranes | Fun Science Games for Adults & Family Game Night
BIOLOGY BOARD GAME - Learn cell biology from a science game! Players build enzymes, hormones, and receptors and play with proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and DNA or mRNA, just like in biology class. This game is great on a learning table in a classroom to teach students about various parts of cell biology, including animal cell organelles, enzymes, and hormones.
STRATEGIC PLAY - Cytosis is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell! Players take turns placing flasks on available organelles within a human cell in order to collect resources or take actions to build enzymes, hormones, and hormone receptors and detoxify the cell.
GENIUS GAMES - Engage your kids and students with a game that will help them learn while also challenging them to think critically. Our board games about biological concepts like cell development give you a way to bond with your young ones without any electronics or screens.
WHO CAN PLAY - This scientifically engaging game is the perfect pastime for gamers, a science class, or a family game night. Teachers, scientists, biologists, and students love playing this geeky molecular science toy; and it makes a great gift for birthdays and special occasions!!
LEARN SCIENCE - Each copy of our science games comes with a fact-based booklet that reviews each concept explored in the game in educational detail. These booklets are written and peer-reviewed by over 20 PhDs and doctors from around the world to ensure the game is as correct to real science as possible.
Cytosis is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell. Players take turns placing flasks on available organelles within the cell. Placing a flask on an organelle allows a player to activate that organelle, to either (1) gain macromolecule resources or (2) take actions like using those resources to complete cell component cards, like enzymes, receptors, hormones. The organelles a player can place on (such as the nucleus or mitochondria) and the macromolecule resources a player can collect (such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids) are accurate to the resources within an actual cell! The process players follow to build hormones, hormone receptors, and enzymes mimics actual processes a human cell goes through every day! Some cell component cards combo with your cards for bonus points, or with others' cards for even more points. All the while, players compete for limited space on each organelle! Cytosis is great for your gaming group, game night with family and friends and the science classroom! Cytosis encourages strategic play, thoughtful timing of actions and critical resource management. All the concepts covered in Cytosis are concepts that would be introduced in a basic high school level biology course. And it does so in a way that is fun and intuitive for everyone! Cytosis was created by a professor of game design who is also a chemical engineer and science teacher!
