Description

Linkage is a competitive card game that's easy to learn but offers a lot of depth and replayability for 2 to 4 players. The game is themed around DNA transcription, a fundamental concept in biology, and provides a unique and engaging way to learn about it. Players compete to build the most accurate RNA copy of a DNA template by connecting their own RNA cards side-by-side to match the template. In this fast-paced game, players can choose from different actions, such as building onto their RNA strand, fixing mistakes, or even mutating their opponents' strands. The goal is to earn points by correctly pairing RNA cards with the DNA template. With a playtime of just 10 to 20 minutes, Linkage is a great game for a quick session, and its simple rules make it accessible to everyone.
