Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game review

Cytosis: A Cell Building Game is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell. Players compete to score the most Health Points by building enzymes, hormones, and receptors using resources gathered from various organelles. It’s a fun and engaging way to learn about cell biology, with mechanics that are surprisingly accessible despite the scientific theme.

I found the game to be enjoyable, even without a strong background in biology. The rules are well-explained, and the game board is visually appealing with diagrams that illustrate the cell's processes. I particularly appreciated the use of event cards that introduce new challenges and keep gameplay fresh.

While some reviewers found the game to be complex, I think it’s a good learning experience, particularly for those who enjoy board games. It’s definitely a game that requires some strategic thinking and resource management, but the rewards are worth the effort. The game also provides an excellent opportunity to engage in discussions about cell biology with family and friends.

Overall, I would recommend Cytosis to anyone looking for a fun and educational board game. It's a great choice for families, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about the fascinating world of cell biology.
