CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MO BIO Laboratories, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of Gut Check: The Microbiome Game. Gut Check is a scientific, strategic and competitive board game designed to be enjoyable for scientists, students, and game enthusiasts alike. The game consists of several card types, including beneficial, opportunistic, and pathogenic microbes, infections and events. Cards can be played on oneself or an opponent and have various consequences to the well-being of the microbiome, ranging from advantageous to lethal. Gut Checks occur randomly throughout the game, sending competitors hurtling up or down the intestinal tract as they gain or lose health. Players can take advantage of pathogen and infection cards, antibiotics, and even fecal transplants to improve their own condition or disrupt the microbiome of an opponent, making for a lively completion that is fun for lab mates, classmates and families.
- Scientific Take a fascinating trip down the small intestine to learn how gut microorganisms, antibiotics, diet and lifestyle intersect to create a thriving (or lethal) microbiome!
- Strategic Multiple card types, tactics, and twists ensure an exciting game for players, whether they are scientists, students or game enthusiasts
- Competitive Bring your killer instincts to the game as you sabotage your opponents with botulism, the plague and more!
