Rabbit Gene Rummy

The bunny-themed card game that helps teach the basic principles of Mendelian inheritance. We’ve all heard the idiom: “breeding like rabbits”. Well, here is a card game that brings it to life! No smell, no fuss, no need for cages! Here’s a visual way to learn the jargon and the basic principles of Mendelian inheritance while playing a fast-paced card game. Create legal matings by matching a buck (dad) and doe (mom) with one baby they could 'legally' produce according Mendel's Laws. Earn points for each known allele that appears in a mating. The more unknown alleles you can fill in for each mating, the more points you can earn. Brief Overview of Gameplay: Cards are dealt to each player with some left over to go on the table as the Gene Pool (draw pile). On each turn you draw a card. If you can form a legal mating, you lay the trio down. Then discard one card if you have one. The game ends when someone runs out of cards or both draw piles are depleted (the Gene Pool and Retirement). The winner is the person with the most points. —description from the designer
