DNA Game & More
Game Content Overview
Game Board maps the entire DNA story: discoveries leading up to the DNA revolution in the RIM; tools used in DNA science and biotechnology in the center HUB; and major applications of DNA science plus related issues in the 8 HELIXES.
Pictures on every Claim Card are clues to the Card’s content; hopefully, they will also inspire you to create productions based on that content.
All-U-Need Booklet contains Message from DNA Ahead™ Creator, Rules, Strategy and Other Tips, Titles + Votes for Claim Cards, and Sample Ballot/Wins Tracker.
