Each cell population can evolve and interact with others according to Conway's "Game of Life" set of mathematical rules, originating an unexpected yet rigorous action every time you play. Unique features: - High replayability: unpredictable outcomes, yet driven by a mathematically rigorous rule-set, make each new game different and unique. - Sharpen your pattern recognition and strategic skills. - Requires both careful planning and quick decision making. - No need to be constantly connected online to play: bring the game to a desert island and keep play
