The Amino Acids command Metabolism, the lipids create cells, the pigments control energy absorption and storage, and the nucleic acids control templated replication. Their goal is a double origin of life: first as Autocatalytic Life (a metabolic cycle reproducing, yet not replicating, its own constituents), and the second as Darwinian Life (an Organism using a template to replicate in an RNA world). Players can play cooperative, competitive, or solitaire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes designer Phil Eklund, \"This subject is the most difficult and ambitious I have ever attempted, and it has taken many years to get it to work right.\" With Bios: Genesis, Bios: Megafauna, and Origins: How We Became Human, Eklund takes players through almost the whole breadth and scope of life on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame Components:\u003cbr\u003e-60 Cards illustrated by Karim Chakroun\u003cbr\u003e-16 oversized placards, for bacteria and refugia\u003cbr\u003e-48 disks representing catalysts, enzymes, and antioxidants\u003cbr\u003e-64 wooden cubes for manna \u0026amp; chromosomes\u003cbr\u003e-12 six-sided dice, used for autocatalytic and Darwin rolls\u003cbr\u003e-Rules and historical background, 54 pages\u003cbr\u003e-Box (5\" X 5\" X 1.75\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ion Game Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22468469889,"sku":"22468469889","price":32.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic2982166.jpg?v=1578609136","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/bios-genesis","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
