A Blend of Science & Art
Microscopic mosaics out of algae? Yes, they're real! Step into the world of Victorian naturalists, where microscopes revealed the unseen natural world. Collect and arrange glittering diatoms into mosaics that shine under your “microscope.” Petri dishes, a lens tool, and Field Notes bring the wonder of science to your table.
Fall down the science rabbit hole of Microscopic Mosaics like we did when making this game!
Unforgettable Table Presence
Extra-thick sparkly tiles, gorgeous goldfoil accents, ornate dual-layer boards, and included petris dishes all add luxe touches that make every play feel special and ensure Diatoms returns to your table again and again.
Each detail meant to delight you and pay homage to the fantastical beauty of both the natural world and human endeavors of art & science.
