To play a card: click on that card in your hand. Tip: If you collect all 35 cards around Whyville, you'll get double the clams for playing! Hint: If you want to learn more about each microbe, move your mouse over the card in your hand. A bigger version of the card will appear, showing a description and image of that microbe. |
Play by yourself, or with a friend. Click on one of the chairs to start. You'll automatically be dealt 3 cards. Each card shows a species of microbes that lives in the ocean, and each card displays information about that microbe: name, size, depth at which the microbe lives, temperature at which the microbe thrives, and abundance of the microbe. There are six rounds to each game. At the beginning of each round, Chaim will announce a dimension for which you'll battle your opponent, for example "largest." Using the cards in your hand, play the card that best corresponds with the given dimension (for example, microbe with the biggest size). Whoever's card best matches the dimension will win that round, and both cards. Clams are earned for each card won, and for finishing the game. Sometimes, there will be a tie, which results in a war. In a war, you'll select two cards from your hand as "slaves", and then you'll be given a second dimension to play. Whoever wins the war wins all the cards, plus extra clams for each card.
