Watch “Game of Traits,” a how-to-play guide for Game of Traits from NIOO KNAW on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NIOO KNAW on YouTube:

Dive into a drop of water and experience the world of plankton! Equip yourself with traits. Fight microscopic monsters. Survive environmental challenges. Cooperate with others…but remember, there can only be one winner! This serious game explains the concept of trait-based ecology, while also sharing our fascination for the world of plankton. It is a deck-building game where players represent different algal groups. By expanding their deck with traits, players have a better chance to survive abiotic or biotic stressors. It is a competitive game where players can help but also sabotage each other. The game is avalable for educational purposes at: https://nioo.knaw.nl/en/projects/game-of-traits #cardgame #cardgames #seriousgames #seriousgameplay #plankton #aquaticecosystem

About Game of Traits, from BoardGameGeek:

Dive into a drop of water and experience the world of plankton! Equip yourself with traits. Fight microscopic monsters. Survive environmental challenges. Cooperate with others... But remember, there can only be one winner! In this munchkin-like game you spend your turn upgrading your plankton, or by facing a threat. Overcome 3 of these threats, and win the evolutionary arm's race! You can always choose to help others (for the right price), but you can also make it harder for them by playing the right cards at the right time.
