It’s been about twenty years since I’ve taken a biology class but I’m pleased to say that I remembered five percent of the terms used in this wonderful tabletop game. That’s OK though, the game comes with a super-informative booklet that explains the science behind the game. I love it when games do this, personally. The excellent production quality combined with the interesting worker placement / resource management mechanics make this an easy recommend…just be warned that it’ll take you over an hour to play on your first go (it did for us, anyway). Turns seemed to fly by once we found our groove, however. If you enjoy games like “Lords of Waterdeep”, give this one a whirl!
