INTRODUCTION
Game where players compete to be the one who contributes the most to the numerous lines of
Research needed to eventually achieve the goal of medical immortality.
VICTORY
At the end of the game, the player with the highest scores in the most Research lines wins.
The game ends when there are no cards left in the deck.
THE DECK
Players share a common deck.
The Deck has 3 main Card Types:
1. Resources
2. Techniques
3. Research
Every card has a point value from 1 to 4.
RESOURCE CARDS
These cards represent the things necessary to do the research
Such as funding, scientists, and institutions.
TECHNIQUE CARDS
These cards represent both the progress of the research and
The way it is designed. So for instance, it could be
Basic Research that leads to a Breakthrough.
RESEARCH CARDS
There are 7 Lines of Research.
Each line of Research is represented by 4 Research cards.
RESEARCH LINES
To achieve immortality we need to make considerable progress in
7 separate lines of Research:
#. Research Line: Abbreviation Notes:
1. Cell Loss Loss Cell Death / Atrophy
2. Cell Senescence Sen Death Resistant Cells
3. Nuclear Mutations Nuc Epi-mutations
4. Mitochondrial Mutations Mito mtDNA
5. Protein Crosslinks PCL Collagen and Elastin
6. Intracellular Waste Int Junk inside cells
7. Extracellular Waste Ext Junk outside cells
SETUP
Each player needs pen and paper.
Shuffle the deck.
Deal 6 cards to each player.
The oldest player goes first.
Play proceeds clockwise.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
On a players turn, he draws 1 card and discards 1 card.
If possible he makes a Meld.
A Meld consists of 5 cards:
1 Research card
1 or more Technique cards
1 or more Resource cards
If you made a Meld, reveal it, score it, then discard your hand.
To score it, add up the value of your Technique and Resource cards.
Multiply the sum of your Technique cards times the sum of your
Resource cards times the value of your Research card.
Record this Score and the line of research it was made in.
After making a Meld, draw 6 new cards.
