This game has been developed by Matthew Barron ([email protected]). The game pieces have been designed in OpenSCAD by David Mott (dpmott).
The following has been transcribed from the original PDF game description (see files).
# ABO Blood Types: What is it and Why is it Important?
This activity is best for 4 kids (4 kids, 4 blood types)
I initially made the blood cells out of plaster, but the little projections were fragile. I made the antibodies out of Sculpey.
The round blood cells have projections: triangles on Type A, rectangles on Type B, both
rectangles and triangles on Type AB, and no projections on Type O. These projections represent the antigens on the blood cell. The antibodies are hexagons with indentations corresponding to their antigenic counterparts. Basically they are just puzzle pieces, which is exactly how they work in the body.
The antibodies are not to scale, of course. Even with the red cells blown up to this size, they would still be very very tin
