HOW TO PLAY

Created by Dr. Kaur

signal

The aim of the game is to collaborate with your team to build a functioning synapse so that Neuron 1 can signal to Neuron 2. The game board features Neuron 1 and Neuron 2, complete with all necessary organelles and a phospholipid membrane with blank boxes for you to add to the structure. The game board also includes a communal card pile and a location for discarded cards. The communal cards contain proteins and molecules you will need to create your synapse.

Your team is playing together for a common goal. Each player should draw 2 cards from the communal pile to start by dragging them into view.
The player with the next upcoming birthday goes first with turns proceeding clockwise.
Each player takes a turn to do the following: EITHER play one card from your hand onto the game board OR discard one card from your hand THEN draw another card from the deck till you have two in your hand
If the end of the communal deck is reached, the discard pile can be shuffled to form a new deck.
Once you believe you have a working synapse, ask me to come by to check the connection!

how to play

Think hard and work fast! Bonus points will be awarded based on how quickly you can create a working synapse. First Team: 4 points Second Team: 3 pointsThird Team: 2 pointOther teams: 1 point
