Cytosis is Strategy Board Game endorsed by Journal of Cell Science and recipient of The Dice Tower Seal of Approval. This game is about Building Proteins, Carbohydrates, Enzymes, Organelles, & Membranes

Type of Game: worker placement, resource management, set collection

Ages: 10+   Players: 2 - 5   Time: 60 - 90 mins

Science Concepts: cell biology, nucleus, free ribosomes, smooth ER, rough ER, golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, mitochondria, enzymes, hormones, receptors, cell detoxification, antibodies and viruses

Description: Cytosis: A Cell Biology Game, is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell! Players take turns placing workers on available organelles within a human cell in order to collect resources (such as Carbohydrates or ATP!) or take actions (such as purchasing Cell Component cards or translating mRNA into Proteins!)

Players use their resources to build Enzymes, Hormones, and Hormone Receptors and also to help detoxify the cell - all of which score health points. The player with the most health points at the end of the game wins!

Evelyn ★★★★★

The vesicle transport mechanic actually made me understand the Golgi apparatus for the first time since high school biology. Turns out a game where you're building enzymes and organelles can be genuinely fun, not just educational. The Dice Tower seal on the box is well earned.

Victoria ★★★★★

I picked this up to help my kids visualize cell processes, and building proteins from the organelle cards actually clicked for them. The science is accurate enough that my wife, who teaches biology, didn't roll her eyes once.

Ryan ★★★★★

The enzyme and organelle cards force you to think several turns ahead, and I love that the science is actually woven into the mechanics instead of just slapped on the box. Played it twice with my biochem friends and we were all double-checking the pathways by the end.
