Adafruit Conway's Game of Life Kit

In 1970, John Conway developed a 1-player game called Game of Life, a mathematical simulation of 'colonies' that thrive or perish based on their surroundings. This simple electronic project brings Conway's Game of Life to life with a design that can adorn your desk or be expanded into a dramatic large display by attaching multiple kit modules.

Initially brought to life by Dropout Design, this revised edition comes packed with additional features. Suitable for both beginner and seasoned electronics enthusiasts, it's an ideal introduction to soldering and circuitry. Perfect for collaborative environments, participants can seamlessly connect their completed modules to form a collective display.
