Cards for Biosafety

Cards for Biosafety is a serious card game for junior biotechnology researchers. By playing the game, the junior researchers will learn about safety and security risks and measures of biotechnology projects in different situations.

The game has a simple premise: draw a scenario, choose a fitting risk card and vote for the best one. The strength of the game comes from the inevitable following disscussion. The game should be played under the guidance of experienced researchers, biosafety officers or topic experts who can tell anecdotes to further strengthen the discussion. Players will come up with weird and funny situations, which often turn out to lead to serious discussions and lessons. The short playtime also increases replayability of the game and it is simple enough to also be played by everyone.

The game is developed as part of the NWO T-TRIPP project which has as goal to research and improve the ecosystem of policy makers and researchers in biotechnology.
