Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game by Genius Games | Science-Accurate Strategy for Adults & Family

Explore cells with Cytosis

Inside a cell, Cytosis from Genius Games invites you to collect resources, assemble enzymes, hormones, and receptors, and explore proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and DNA or mRNA. The game blends tactile components with vivid biology-inspired artwork to bring classroom concepts to life at the table.

What makes Cytosis stand out is its inside-the-cell premise. The board simulates a bustling cellular environment, inviting strategic placement and resource management as you detoxify the cell and advance your biology goals without electronics or screens. Each session invites careful planning, negotiation, and timed actions as you balance short-term gains with longer-term objectives.
