Description from the publisher:
You are a powerful force for good, and you may be humanity's only hope. You are also a deadly bacteria struggling for dominance in a petri dish against dangerous enemies. Can you prove to the scientists looming above that you are the cure they have been looking for?
In Petri Wars, players collect and expend food to grow larger, move around the dish to gain strategic position, and attack other cells. Each time you add a new cell, it has a special ability, defense, or added value. Choose and use these abilities wisely because you can only use each one once.

Description from the Kickstarter:
Petri Wars is a game for 2-4 players, ages 13+. Play time is approximately 30-60 minutes.
An experimental strain of bacteria is ready to be put to the ultimate test. Facing it are other hostile and deadly creations ready to wage war over the petri dish using all the tricks and adaptations at their disposal for survival. Can you guide your creation to victory? Are you ready for an epic battle of microscopic proportions?
In Petri Wars, players collect and expend food to grow larger, migrate throughout the dish to gain strategic position, and attack other cells. Each time you add a new cell it will have a hidden special ability, such as an added attack strength or a defensive capability. Choose wisely though, as you can only use the ability of each cell once per game.
Players gather DNA by growing their organisms to occupy as much space as possible in the dish, destroying and assimilating enemy cells along the way. The Bacteria with the most advanced DNA at the end of the game wins!
