Review: Well designed, high quality board game - This is a great game. It's good fun, some nice depth to it allowing for tactics and strategy, but fairly easy to pick up. The gameplay is tied in well with the scientific/educational aspect. The rules are well written and easy to understand, and the game is manufactured to a high quality.
Review: Great Gift for Biology Teacher’s - I haven’t actually played this, but I bought it for my biology teacher and he loved it! He’s also got the Peptide game by the same developer, great way to surprise ur bio teachers if ur willing to pay a bit extra than a standard gift to make their day.
