Petris

Players act as scientists managing bacterial cultures across a grid of Petri dishes. On each turn, bacteria move into adjacent dishes and reproduce when left isolated, so players plan movements to limit uncontrolled growth and avoid leaving single colonies to expand. Scoring occurs during contamination phases: players earn contamination points for each dish where they outnumber opponents. The game plays 2–3 players in about 10 minutes and rewards minimizing contamination points to win.
