Nuclear Dash

Race your way through the cytoplasm and into the nucleus!

You’re a freshly made cargo protein with VIP access to the nucleus. But you’re not the only one who wants in. Compete head‑to‑head against a rival protein, navigating the cytoplasm, latching onto the nuclear pore complex, and riding the Ran‑GTP/GAP/GEF cycle to victory. Hand‑drawn art and simple roll‑and‑move mechanics make this two‑player board game an interactive way to learn the nuclear localization pathway.
