BacteriaGame is a bacterial classification review card game born from the collaboration within the University Sorbonne Paris Nord between Mathilde Lescat a medical microbiologist and Nicolas Pineros a game designer from the Ludomaker, the University's GameLab. Later, they were joined by Katie Tenaillon a young talented designer to create the drawings of the bacteria.

Educational objectives

Educational objectives

These educational objectives are mainly knowledge objectives: - To know the essential bacteriological characteristics of bacteria (Gram aspect, family, main resistances to ATB)- Identify the environmental / commensal sites in which these bacteria evolve- Make the link with the pathologies due to these bacteria- But also to deduce how to collect them to diagnose them in the laboratory- Understand the antibiotic treatments to be implemented for serious or frequent infections due to these bacteriaIn addition to BacteriaGame, you can consult my slide show on the essential notions to know in medical Bacteriology here:

Principle and audience

Principle and audience

This game is intended for medical students (medicine, pharmacy) of different levels (from the 3rd year to the internship years). It can also be used for the training of technicians in Bacteriology of medical biology laboratories. Its objective is to learn and review the characteristics of 20 bacteria (or groups of bacteria) of medical interest. These bacteria have been chosen for their frequent or serious involvement in human infectious diseases. The aim of the game is to associate these bacteria with selected essential characteristics

game summary

The object of the game is to match bacteria cards to their essential characteristics and to guess the bacteria cards of the other players. The game proceeds as follows: after setting up the game board, each player matches 4 characteristic cards to two bacteria cards he or she drew initially and draws 4 cards again. The next player plays clockwise. At any time, a player can bet by trying to guess another player's bacteria using a joker system and try to win points. A bacteria booklet is present in the game and helps to verify the associations made by the players as they bet.depending on who is wrong (bet, put down cards) the jokers are lost and those who are not wrong win points.The winner is the one who has won the most points at the end of the game which lasts 30 minutes (this time can be increased for the first sessions of play).
