RIKEN CDB Game Cards

The RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology has created a set of game cards illustrating basic concepts, such as embryonic stages of development, cell types, various model organisms used in research, and mutations in the fruit fly Drosophila .
Printed versions of these cards have been distributed to visitors to the CDB Open House as well as at a number of international academic meetings. The data for the cards are now available free of charge for non-commercial use.
Click on the link below to download a PDF file of all 30 game cards plus a two-sided game rules card. To print your own set of cards, open the file, and set your printer for two-sided printing using A4 paper, or [Fit to Page Size] when printing on other sizes of paper. We recommend using heavy card stock when printing.

If you are interested in creating a translated version of the cards in a language other than English or Japanese, we will be happy to supply the original card set data in Illustrator format and to host your translated version on this website for free distribution. Please contact Doug Sipp if you would like to create a translation.
