The definitive edition of the stunning microscopic strategy game is here, featuring iridescent tiles and a unique Victorian theme for the ultimate "art-meets-science" experience.

Diatoms invites you to become a member of the Society for the Microscopic Arts, where you’ll arrange tiny algae cells—diatoms—into breathtaking kaleidoscopic mosaics. Inspired by a real 19th-century art form, this game challenges you to build a shared "pond" of algae colonies to earn specific diatom shapes and colors. This edition focuses on elegant pattern-building and spatial logic, featuring a dual-phase gameplay style where every placement in the pond dictates the beauty (and score) of your personal slide.

Beyond the fascinating historical theme, this version boasts incredible table presence with its shimmering, foil-printed tiles and clear petri dish containers. The "Guest Judge" cards add dynamic scoring layers, ensuring that the criteria for a winning mosaic shift with every exhibition. Whether you are aiming for perfect symmetry or a diverse array of geometric shapes, the game offers a serene yet deeply strategic puzzle that captures the delicate wonder of the microscopic world.
