Dr. Microbe
Use logic and speed to identify the microbes required by each challenge card. Players race to use tweezers to place three microbes and, when shown, a superbug in their divided petri dish, following the rule that the superbug must differ in both shape and color from the other microbes. The first player to complete the correct arrangement claims the card, and the first to collect five cards wins. A variant adds a purple virus that passes from player to player and penalizes whoever holds it when the round ends.
