gutsy print card game
TRANSCRIPT
GUTSY The Card Game
Setup1. Give each player a Player Guide.
2. Remove the 4 Event cards.
3. Shuffle and deal 6 cards to each player. This forms a player’s Hand which is kept secret from the other players.
4. Shuffle the Event cards into the remaining cards to form the draw pile and place in the center of all players. (The discard pile will be created during the game next to the draw pile, face up.)
5. Each player chooses any 2 Microbe or Pathogen cards from their Hand and places them face down in front of them. These cards will be the first 2 cards in their Gut.
6. When everyone is ready, all players reveal the 2 cards in their Gut.
7. The person who most recently ate a salad goes first.
8. You are now ready to play!
Each of us has a community of microbes that lives in our gut. It is influenced by what we eat, drink, who we interact with and the medicines that we take. A diverse microbiome promotes good health.
Can you make the right decisions to be the first to diversify your gut microbiome?
ObjectiveBe the first to have 6 different microbes in your Gut at the end of your turn (excluding Pathogens)!
Traveling to other countries can drastically alter your gut microbiome,
at least temporarily.

their Hands into a pile. Shuffle the pile and redeal a new Hand to each player, starting with the
player to the left of the person who drew this card. Discard this card to stop any card

Additional Actions & Card Rules
QUARANTINE can be used on another player’s turn to negate an action played against you. That player’s action is now forfeited. It can also be used on Events and even on your own turn.
FAMILY REUNIONS leave the player to the left of the active player with only 3 cards. That person should now draw up to 4 cards.
TRANSMISSION can still be used to transfer a Pathogen into another player’s full Gut; in that case the player receiving the Pathogen should discard 1 random card to make room.
How to Play GUTSYEach player takes turns being the Active player and will complete their entire turn before the next clockwise player becomes the Active player. There are 4 phases in a turn:
1. Health check: If you have at least 1 Pathogen in your Hand, play 1 Pathogen into your Gut and skip to the third step; if your Gut already has 6 Microbes, you must discard one non-Pathogen card in your Gut to make space.
2. Play a card from your Hand: In this phase you get to play a card to perform ONE of the following actions:
a. Build your gut: If you have an empty slot in your Gut, you may add a new Microbe from your Hand into it. Duplicates are allowed but each card occupies its own slot. The action on this card is NOT played now. It is stored for future use (see next: Trigger stored action).
b. Trigger stored action: If you have a Microbe card in your Hand with the same Microbe name as one in your Gut, you can trigger the action on the top of the card. First, perform the stored action on the Microbe in your Gut. Second, discard that card and place the matching Microbe from your Hand into the vacated spot in your Gut. If you can’t perform the action, you can’t trigger it.
c. Discard card: Discard a card from your Hand if your Gut is full and you can’t trigger an action.
3. Refill your Hand: Draw card(s) into your Hand, one at a time. If an Event card is drawn, read, execute the action and then discard it. Continue drawing until you have 4 cards in your Hand.
4. Gut Check: If you have 6 different Microbes (no Pathogens) in your Gut, the game has ended and you won! If not, but you are one card from winning, shout “I’m feeling Gutsy!” If the game has not ended, play continues with the player on your left and continues clockwise throughout the game.
Remember! When an Event causes you to lose a Microbe from
your Gut, you may choose to discard a Pathogen.
When the Draw pile is empty, shuffle the Discard pile to form a new Draw pile.
The player who triggers the action decides on the target.
Antibiotics can be used on any player’s Gut, not just your own.
Acknowledgments: Gutsy was created by Susan Perkins (Curator & Professor, American Museum of Natural History), Barry Joseph (Associate Director for Digital Learning), and Eric Teo (pushurluck-podcast.com). Thanks to all the youth who assisted in its develop-ment through the Museum’s Lang program: Adam, Aziza, Calliope, Dominika, Emily, Emma, Geeta, Gloria, Isaul, Jalen, Jose, Mari, Maria, Priscilla, Sabrina, William, Xiomara, and Melissa, and their instructor, Abbey Novia. Thanks to everyone who lent a hand in the Museum’s Exhibition department and NCSLET (the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology), as well as all the play-testers, specifically Mike Patterson, the NYU Game Center, and all the un-suspecting Museum visitors who graciously shared their visit with us.
Game VariantsEpidemic!In this variant, the game immediately ends if anyone has 3 Pathogens in their Gut.
I Choose You!In this variant, you may replace a matching Microbe in any player’s Gut and trigger its stored action.
Are You Going to Eat That?In this variant, you may ONLY replace matching Microbes in other players’ Guts to trigger the action.
Discard this card to stop any card from being taken from
your Hand or your Gut. Do not redraw until your next turn.
QUARANTINED
Lots of hugs and kisses meant lots of microbes transferred!
Everyone passes their Hand to the left.
