"Cellulose: A Plant Cell Biology Game" immerses 1-5 players into the microscopic realm of plant cells, where they compete for limited resources to fuel photosynthesis, produce carbohydrates, and construct the cell wall. In this strategic worker placement game, players must carefully time their utilization of proteins, hormones, and cell component cards to diversify their strategies and outmaneuver their rivals.
Building upon the foundation of its predecessor, Cytosis (2017), "Cellulose" expands upon familiar game mechanics to offer players greater control over available resources, strategic pathways, and even the duration of gameplay. With everyone vying for the same critical actions, players must leverage their knowledge of plant cell biology to gain an edge and emerge victorious in this fascinating journey through the microcosm of botanical science.

Cellulose: A Plant Cell Biology Game is a worker placement game that puts 1-5 players inside a plant cell, where they will compete over limited resources in order to undergo photosynthesis, produce carbohydrates, and build the cell wall. With everyone vying for the same actions, players must time their use of proteins, hormones, and cell component cards in order to diversify their strategies and outplay the competition.
Cellulose is the standalone sequel to Cytosis (2017). It has some of the same DNA, but Cellulose expands familiar game systems, allowing players greater control over available resources, strategic paths, and even game length.
