About the Game

Join the fight against rare genetic diseases by becoming a DNA engineer in the fast-paced mind-bending card game Gene Pool! Use strategy and spatial thinking to mutate, invert, delete and insert your way to success!

How do you play? You compete against your opponent to repair important genes of various length and difficulty with gene therapy. Make these repairs by modifying and rearranging a common DNA sequence with the cards you have in hand. Your current genetic research goals are private and are revealed only when they can be found within the DNA sequence. Continue repairing genes until one player completes enough research to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — and the game!
