Description

Cell Management is a puzzle game like no other, where you play as a solo operator trying to stage a daring escape from an alien spaceship. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, this game is perfect for a quick challenge, and its easy-to-learn rules make it accessible to anyone. Published in 2005 and designed by Mark Goadrich, Cell Management is a unique blend of strategy and problem-solving. As you navigate the game, you'll need to execute a series of clever maneuvers to outsmart your captors and free your fellow abductees. The game's mechanics are inspired by gene regulatory networks, which might sound complex, but trust us, it's a whole lot of fun. The game board is set up like a circular bacterial DNA strand, complete with RNA polymerase guards and transcribed RNA sequences that become promoters and repressors. As you progress, you'll need to use these elements to your advantage, staging diversionary escape attempts and using your wits to outmaneuver your captors. With its clever blend of science and strategy, Cell Management is a game that will keep you on your toes and leave you feeling like a genius when you finally make your escape.
