In an effort to make BioMech accessible to everyone, we have allowed the game to be downloaded for free. Below you will find instructions
that will aid you in downloading and constructing your own version of the game. The materials required are as follows:
- A4 Printer and paper (A3 recommended)
- Guillotine or scissors
- Glue such as pritt stick
- Tape
- A die
- Pen and paper for score keeping/li>
- Software that allows printing (We will use Google Chrome)
BioBrick Cards
In a complete deck there are 100 double sided BioBrick cards,
split in to four groups: Promoters, Ribosome binding sites,
Protein coding regions, and Terminators. The cards can be printed back to back,
on single sheets and stuck together, or single sided in order to save ink. It should
be noted that despite our best efforts the double sided printing option
may not always be correctly aligned.
Firstly, open the correct BioBrick PDF file. If you have access to a double sided printer
click here, and
for single sided printers click here.
Both links open in a new tab.
Secondly, press "print" and locate the printing properties for your browser and ensure
portrait printing is selected. For single sided
prints, do not change any options. For double sided prints select "flip on short side".
If you wish to save paper and ink here by printing only the fonts of the cards
only print odd pages (1,3,5...19), this is only recommended for single side printing.
Lastly, if printing double sided use scissors or a guillotine to separate the cards.
If printing printing single sided stick pairs of pages back to back (5 and 6 for example)
before cutting.
