BOARD GAME

SCU-China had created a board game called "Arena of Bacteria". For this board game, We want to show the public how the antibiotics affect our environment. In this game, there are 122 cards. They are divided into three parts, the environment cards, the plasmid cards, and the functional cards.

Figure. 1 Cover of our board game, "Arena of Bacteria".

We are going to act as a kind of bacterium. Just as the name of the card classes says, a plasmid card means your bacteria will have this plasmid when you put it into your field. And the plasmid will have different functions, just like resistances to antibiotics. While the environment card shows the antibiotics. Please see the “Rules” for the detailed information.

So, if our bacteria will get many different plasmids, they will be very strong. And we can show the negative effect of abuse of antibiotics: there might be no medicine to kill the pathogenic bacteria and save our lives.

propaganda

In order to publicize our board game "Arena of Bacteria", and let the public know the negative effect of antibiotics' abuse, we performed advertisements both online and offline.

For the online advertisement, we released our board game on a board game promotion platform (app), called JiShi (Figure. 3). Additionally, we took it to the 3rd Shadow Market, an annual board game exhibition in China.

For the same purpose, we have made our game go live on an application, which introduces board games to the public in China.
