Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game

Players take the roles of molecular workers inside a human cell and place worker meeples on locations representing organelles and molecular sites. Some spaces provide resources such as mRNA and ATP, while others grant actions like converting resources or drawing cards. Collected resources are spent to construct enzymes, hormones, and receptors that score Health Points. The game proceeds through rounds of worker placement and resource management; the player with the most Health Points at the end wins.
