Educational Game Club: Discussion of Geniventure

June's Game is Geniventure

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.

Thoughts on the game before the event? Share them on 💬 the forum.
