As mentioned in my reflection blog, Cytosis is a great game to integrate into a biology classroom, specifically Anatomy and Physiology 12 class! It is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell, and you are exposed to various aspects of the human cell, allowing students to delve into the intricacies of various organelles and their function.

As mentioned before, this game is available for free on Tabletopia!

Playtime: 60-90 minutes

Type of Game: Board game

Player Count: 2-5 players

Complexity*: Medium-Light

*The complexity scale goes as follows: Light, Medium-Light, Medium, Medium-Heavy, and Heavy. The scale is quite arbitrary, however, the way i think of it is: the thicker the rulebook, and more time consuming games will lean on the heavier side.

In previous videos, I went through a screencastify of how to play, however, I found the actual creator of the game, and he gave his own tutorial! See video below!
