Dr. Microbe*
Players must quickly acquire the necessary microbes in Dr. Microbe. Each round starts with a challenge card indicating a combination of microbes and possibly a superbug. Using tweezers, players place the correct microbes in their petri dish while ensuring the superbug has a different shape and color from the other microbes. The first to fill their dish correctly claims the challenge card, and the first to collect five cards wins.
As a variant, players can include a purple virus that starts in a central dish. They can pass the virus to the left, and if it ends up in a player's dish at the end of the round, that player must give up one of their collected cards to the round's winner.
