Tutorial 2: How do you determine a patient's blood type? Tutorial 3: How do you perform safe blood transfusions? People can happily receive blood from the same blood type as their own, but they have antibodies against any antigens not found on their own red blood cells. Look at the "Compatible blood chart" below!
This "Compatible blood chart" refers to blood transfusions with red blood cells. People with O Rh- blood can only receive O Rh- blood.
The playful teaching method in this well thought out production creates a desire to learn how one determines blood types, their differences and which ones are compatible for blood transfusions. However, the subject matter is probably foreign to the majority of players and it can be daunting to just jump right into play. To access the tutorials which introduce the subject, players have to register an account with the website. While the process itself is pretty straightforward once players grasp it, without a tutorial or instructor orientation, the game can quickly descend into simple guessing.
Games that tackle serious medical knowledge like this are far and few between, and Blood Typing Game will serve well as a component of a broader lesson about physiology. While the game itself is about blood, the visuals are pretty harmless and often comic.

Many patients have died and it was not until , when the Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups, that blood transfusions became safer. Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination. The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences.
Karl Landsteiner discovered that blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells.
There are many other genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the ABO and Rh blood systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. This educational game explores the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Karl Landsteiner for the discovery of human blood groups. Later, in , Landsteiner was also part of discovering the Rh blood group system. Read more about this Nobel Prize.
