Title:
Peptide A Protein Building Game
Description:
Peptide is an open-drafting card game with resource management elements. Basically, players compete to link amino acids side-by-side, forming what’s called a Peptide Chain (in biology, this process is called RNA Translation). In order to do so, players must first select from a number of available open-drafted face up cards, which in the game represent cellular organelles. Each organelle rewards players with either molecular resources or cellular actions. Final scores are based upon the types of amino acids in your Peptide Chain, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
In a nutshell, the goal of the game is to score as many Amino Acid cards as possible by connecting them to your Peptide Chain. It’s an easy-to-learn game for 2 to 6 scientists that adds a gratifying dose of player interaction, interesting decision opportunities, and critically-timed actions with just a bit of chance!
Players compete to link Amino Acids side-by-side, building what’s called a Peptide Chain (another fancy word for a protein). In order to build this protein, players must first make a set of thoughtful selections from a number of openly available Organelle Cards. Selected Organelle Cards are removed from that round’s available options, creating an interactive open-card-drafting mechanic.
Each Organelle Card rewards players with either resources or actions. Molecular resources include ATP for energy and mRNA nucleotides, while cellular actions include attaching an amino acid to a tRNA molecule, matching an amino acid to its mRNA codon, or connecting an amino acid to your growing Peptide Chain. Points are scored based upon the types of Amino Acids in your Peptide Chain, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
Components:
30 Organelle Cards: 6x each Nucleus, Mitochondria, Vacuole, Amino-Acyl, Ribosome.
48 RNA Cards (small cards): 12x each Adenine (green), Guanine (blue), Cytosine (red), Uracil (orange).
27 Animo Acid Cards: 20 Amino Acids, 1 Stop Codon, 6 Methionine cards.
6 Vacuole track cards.
6 Player Reference Cards.
Bonus point cards
1 First Player card.
16 Player Cards.
30 Energy tokens.
