Description

In the boardgame Sci-me!, you build up your own scientific laboratory, hire people to do research for you and try to get as many grants as possible to fund your research. Since publications are the scientific currency, your main goal is to publish your scientific findings.
Our game is a concept game designed for educational purposes. All actions in the game and their meta-level meaning are also explained in the interpretation book. In Sci-me we have different complexity modes to catch non-scientists, budding scientists as well as established scientists. The game is available as a digital prototype, a board game and a simplified travel version. Sci-me can also be extended with other add-ons to address specific areas of research or to emphasize different mechanics such as grant applications or open science.
