Welcome to Remediate!
The strategy card game where you become a synthetic biologist on a mission
to save the planet one engineered microbe at a time.
The world has a plastic problem. You have a lab
In Remediate! you play as a scientist wielding the real-world tools of synthetic biology to do what nature can’t quite manage on its own: engineer microbes that eat plastic for breakfast.
Meet your team!
A cast of colourful microbial characters. A stack of gene cards that let you attack, defend, and augment. Endless combinations, zero predictable games.
Set up your lab!
Clone in the right genes. Supercharge your microbes to chomp through environmental plastic faster than your opponents while defending your own lab from their scheming. The scientist who remediates the most plastic wins.
The science is real!
Remediate! was developed by synthetic biologists at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology, the researchers who actually do
this work.
Synthetic biology
is the science of engineering microbes to make useful things: chemicals, fuels, fabrics, medicines. Often by getting them to consume waste and turn it into something valuable.
