Board game setup with 6 players. Each player has their own game piece (lightning bolt) that moves along the axon game board, along with their own action potential card with a sliding clip to keep track of their action potential signal. When it is a player’s turn, they draw a signal propagation card that specifies what to do (ex: propagate forward 1 space) and how their action potential signal is affected (ex: reduce your action potential by 10%). Once the game piece lands on a square of the game board, the color indicates a change in a cable property of the neuron that impacts the action potential (ex: blue indicates myelin sheath – increased membrane resistance advances their game piece 2 spaces forward without a decay in their action potential signal). Players that have an action potential of 0% must return to the start. The first player to reach the finish (axon terminal) wins the game.
