It combines fun and education by allowing players to build peptide chains from amino acids, making it a perfect tool for teaching high school biology concepts. With strategic gameplay for 2-6 players, this game is ideal for family nights, classrooms, and as a unique gift for science lovers. ## Description Peptide is strategy card game game, modeled accurately around the process of building a protein chain! Throughout the game, players compete to collect amino acids and the matching mRNA nucleotides, then link those amino acids side by side to increase the length of their protein chain and score points. Each round, a number of organelle cards (such as nucleus, mitochondria or ribosome) are flipped face up in the center of the table for all players to see. Players take turns selecting organelle cards that either (1) provide resources (like ATP from the mitochondria or mRNA from the nucleus) or (2) allow players to build onto their protein chain. As the game progresses, players will continue to add amino acids to their protein chain. The player with the protein chain worth the most points at the end of the game wins; Peptide is great for the Science classroom or a game night with family and friends. Its fast paced, interactive, and encourages players to think strategically to optimize their protein Strand while attempting to hinder opponents. All the concepts covered in peptide are concepts that would be introduced in a basic High School Level biology course. And it does so in a way that is fun and intuitive for everyone! Peptide was created by a Professor of game design who is also a chemical engineer and science teacher! Genius Games is a stem-centered publishing Company that creates high-quality tabletop games and children's books. We demystify intimidating concepts in the sciences through the thrill of play. We engage players in a lifelong process of Inquiry by rewarding curiosity with fun.

So, for example, you could NOT use one AminoAcyl card and pay 4 ATP to pick up two Amino Acid cards. You could only use that one AminoAcyl with 2 ATP to pick up one Amino Acid card. The rules are very exact when they say, "Pay two ATP Tokens; Pickup the top..." which means pay two and then pick up. If you could use it multiple times, by paying 4 or 6 ATP Tokens, then the rules would say pay two "per" action, or make this clear. This point is made even more clear in the ATP actions. You CAN perform as many ATP Actions on a turn as you wish. And the rules make it very clear that you can do this by saying "may pay multiple times to perform multiple actions..." **Q: are the contents different in the reprint from the original? (contents seems to have changed, like 36mRNA cards instead of 48, no vacuole track?)** A: That's correct. In this edition, the Vacuole track was removed and the there are fewer mRNA cards. The end game score is slightly different as well. **Q: I don't see where it says how many atp tokens you start with. any help? or what do you do? thanks!** A: Actually, you don't start with any ATP in this set of rules. However, when we reprint the game, we will have each player start with 2 ATP at the beginning of the game. So you could start with two if you wanted. If you are playing the advanced version, I would also suggest starting the energy on the Vacuole Track at 4 rather than 3. ## Frequently Bought Together - Genius Games Peptide: A Protein Building Game | A Strategy Card Game with Accurate Science for Gamers and Teachers | Teaches Amino Acids, mRNA, Organelles - Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game | A Science Accurate Strategy Board Game About Building Proteins, Carbohydrates, Enzymes, Organelles, & Membranes | Fun Science Games for Adults & Family Game Night - Virulence: An Infectious Virus Card Game - Educational Bidding Game for Kids 8+ - Perfect Biology Board Game for Kids, Teens, and Adults - Medical Science Gifts for Nurses, Doctors, Teachers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49258973-genius-games-got1003-peptide-a-protein-building-game-red](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49258973-genius-games-got1003-peptide-a-protein-building-game-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
