Place workers inside a human cell, gather mRNA and ATP and build enzymes, hormones and receptors.
A worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell. In Cytosis, you start with a few workers and, on your turn, drop one into any open spot in the cell. Some locations hand you resources such as mRNA and ATP, others let you convert resources or collect cards. You spend the resources to build enzymes, hormones and receptors, which score Health Points, and whoever has the most Health Points at the end wins. It is a clever way to learn what the organelles actually do, without it feeling like a biology lesson, for two to five in about ninety minutes.
Who it's for
You like worker placement and a science theme that actually teaches something, for four players.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a dramatic story or heavy interaction, or you do not enjoy a medical theme.
Vibe's take
Steady and puzzly, with a satisfying chain of resources turning into scoring pieces. The cell theme gives the actions a logical feel that sticks.
