Based on the poll results, we’ll be discussing Geniventure by The Concord Consortium, a game where players breed dragons to learn about heredity, genetics, and the protein-to-trait relationship. Designed for middle and high school students.
The game is designed for classrooms so I’ve created a couple of guides to make things easier since we’ll be playing independently:
- How to Play Geniventure. Steps to set up the game.
- Geniventure Hints. Offers background normally provided by a teacher.
Housekeeping
- Playing the game before the event is encouraged but not required. The event is dedicated to discussion.
- The event is open to everyone so feel free to invite others.
- Suggest an educational game for a future event.
