T-Cell Tactics

T-Helper cells, much like a general on a battlefield, activate other T-Cells and antibody generating B-Cells to fight off invading pathogens. In T-Cell Tactics, you will marshal the immune system to fight off pathogens and lead your patient to a rapid recovery.

Two versions of the game are included:

In T-Cell Tactics standard mode, you will collect cytokines, chemokines and transcription factors to transform naive T-helper cells into their specialized forms and then into Effector cells, ready to fight specific enemies. It is a fast fun to play card game that does not require any knowledge of immunology and is easy enough for beginner board gamers.

So you want to test your mettle and see if you have what it takes to be an immunologist? The challenge mode is for you. In this version of the game, you will have to memorize the T-Helper and Effector cell recipes made up of cytokines, transcription factors and chemokines. You will log how you created each recipe and if incorrect you will endanger your patient. Failure here is brutal. But remember, there is knowledge in failure.

T-Cell Tactics, the board game, is nearly ready for Kickstarter.
