Cellulose: A Plant Cell Biology Game Review (Genius Games)

This game is beautifully designed with high quality elements. Each turn involves basic worker placement activities. Move your action pieces, get resources, convert those resources, all while building a wall around your plant cell in an effort to turn your sources into points. Cards are the main way to get points as well as building the cell wall. Winning resources help the player to buy other resources for wall building. Real science is in play as you use different cell components according to the actual chemical formulas. When the cell wall is completed, whoever has the most health points is the winner. There's a game manual and a teaching manual to learn all about photosynthesis.

This game is a very good educational tool to help students learn about cells.

Cellulose is for ages 14 and up, and is best suited for teachers, scientists, biologists, and students who love playing games that showcase scientific aspects.

Cellulose is not for everyone. Game set up takes some time and patience and interest in the subject are key. It's best suited for teachers, scientists, biologists, and students who love playing science games!
