THE LIST OF GAMES

-

ION:

The objective of this game is to form either neutrally charged compounds or sets of stable noble gases. COVALENCE:

In this chemistry-themed cooperativ­e card game, players work together to build a number of secret organic molecules that only one player has the knowledge of. VIRULENCE:

This is a quick and simple card game where players take on the role of viruses! Players compete to infect a host cell (place bids using virus cards) in order to replicate their own viral components. PEPTIDE:

Players compete to link amino acids side-byside, building what’s called a peptide chain (a fancy word for a protein). To build this protein, players must first make a set of thoughtful selections from a number of openly available organelle cards. SUBATOMIC:

This is a deck-building game about building elements from subatomic particles! Players begin the game with a small deck of quarks and photons. Each turn, players draw a new hand of cards and decide to either build up their atom to score points, or buy stronger cards for their deck. Players use their quarks and photons to build protons, neutrons and electrons. They may also “hire” famous scientists like Marie Curie, Niels Bohr, Maria GoeppertMa­yer and Albert Einstein. Players use scientists to break the standard rules of the game, like turning energy into matter and replicatin­g cards played by other players.
