## Overview

Genius Games Peptide is an educational card game that teaches players how cells convert genes into proteins by building peptide chains from amino acids. Designed for ages 8 to 15 and beyond, it combines accurate high school biology concepts with strategic open card drafting gameplay. Compact and easy to learn, it’s perfect for classrooms, family game nights, or on-the-go learning, making complex science both accessible and engaging.

## Description

Players compete to link Amino Acids side-by-side, building whats called Peptide Chain another fancy word for protein. In order to build this protein, players must first make set of thoughtful selections from number of openly available Organelle Cards. Selected Organelle Cards are removed from that rounds available options, creating an interactive open-card-drafting mechanic.

Review: Good - Good
Review: I really love this game to help my children learn about cell processes! They have been studying about cells and organelles and this game helped them talk about and practice what organelles do. They already learned about DNA transcription and translation and loved building the peptides. It really helped them consolidate their knowledge and we had a lot of good discussions about why the methods within the game play and why it was designed that way. Not only was the game super easy to learn, but also really fun! Right after playing it - they already wanted to play another round. The game is small and doesn't take up a lot of space - so we were able to take it with us and play it in a hotel. I love all the Genius Games and have played them with 10-12 year olds, as well as with other adults - and the games are consistently a hit! Thank you! Huge fan!

## Features

- Biology card game - learn biology from a science game where players build peptide chains out of amino acids. More fun than biology class, players learn about Cells converting genes into proteins.
- Strategic play - An open card drafting game about building proteins with a level of strategy to engage an adult gamer, yet intuitive enough for kids 10 and up to play at home or in the classroom.
- Accurate science - all organelles, Cells and science vocabulary in peptide are concepts covered in high school biology class, making it one of the best educational games to aid science teachers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use organelles more than once per turn? it's unclear from the rules but seems like you get as many atp fueled actions as you can pay for.**
A: Each Organelle card awards that action only ONCE. So, for example, you could NOT use one AminoAcyl card and pay 4 ATP to pick up two Amino Acid cards. You could only use that one AminoAcyl with 2 ATP to pick up one Amino Acid card. The rules are very exact when they say, "Pay two ATP Tokens; Pickup the top..." which means pay two and then pick up. If you could use it multiple times, by paying 4 or 6 ATP Tokens, then the rules would say pay two "per" action, or make this clear. This point is made even more clear in the ATP actions. You CAN perform as many ATP Actions on a turn as you wish. And the rules make it very clear that you can do this by saying "may pay multiple times to perform multiple actions..."

**Q: are the contents different in the reprint from the original? (contents seems to have changed, like 36mRNA cards instead of 48, no vacuole track?)**
A: That's correct. In this edition, the Vacuole track was removed and the there are fewer mRNA cards. The end game score is slightly different as well.

**Q: I don't see where it says how many atp tokens you start with. any help? or what do you do? thanks!**
A: Actually, you don't start with any ATP in this set of rules. However, when we reprint the game, we will have each player start with 2 ATP at the beginning of the game. So you could start with two if you wanted. If you are playing the advanced version, I would also suggest starting the energy on the Vacuole Track at 4 rather than 3.
