Category: Card Game

Type of Game:  Open Card Drafting, Resource Management

Ages: 10+     Players: 2 - 5     Time: 30 - 45 mins

Science Concepts:RNA to protein translation, polypeptide chains, proteins, amino acids, vacuole, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosome, mRNA, tRNA, ATP

Description: In Peptide, players compete to link Amino Acids side-by-side, building what’s called a Peptide Chain(another fancy word for a protein). In order to build this protein, players must first make a set of thoughtful selections from a number of openly available Organelle Cards. Selected Organelle Cards are removed from that round’s available options, creating an interactive open-card-drafting mechanic.

The open card drafting keeps everyone engaged right up to the last round, and I love that the mRNA and amino acid cards are scientifically accurate enough to use in my classroom. We finished a 4-player game in about 40 minutes, which is perfect for a class period.

Penelope ★★★★★

My teen actually asks to play this, which never happens with school stuff. The drafting mechanic means you're racing to build a polypeptide before anyone else, so it feels like a real game and not a quiz. We finish in about 35 minutes, perfect for a weeknight.

Brian ★★★★★

The open card drafting in this one is so smooth—my group of four finished a full game in about 35 minutes, and we were all actually debating mRNA codons by the second round. Even my non-science friend got the hang of the resource management fast. It’s the rare game that makes you feel clever while y
