BioMech - Download

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
Software that allows printing (We will use Google Chrome)

Game Board

BioMech has its own game board allowing players to place their BioBricks in to a plasmid.

Open the board game PDF files. If you have access to an A3 printer click here, otherwise for an A4 printers click here. Both links open in a new tab.
If printing an A4 version of the game it is reccommended that you tape the two sheets together. For a better experience the board can then be attatched to a cardboard box to maintain its shape.

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.

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.
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.
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.
