LMD Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I posted in another thread that the kind people at Quest for Arete sent me a free copy of this game - because it hasn't been approved for sale in Australia. Well, it has arrived and we've had a little play. Love! My older two children (11 & 9) and their friend, have enjoyed playing it. It's a fantasy theme, card based, game, using the elements to combine them into spells to defeat your opponent. I'm quite impressed with how much chemistry is actually included. The kids need to read the chemistry abbreviations (Au for gold etc), use the valence numbers to calculate scores, locate the element on the table and other elements in the same column (for substitutions) - just some examples. There are more complex ways to play the game, so far we've been doing shorter duels, that I hope we can try soon. It's been a fun addition to our chemistry studies! (The Quest for Arete folks haven't asked me to review it or anything, but they were very kind and super helpful people!) http://questforarete.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMD Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 What ages do you think this is best for? 9 or 10+ I'd say. It's got some complexity. My 9 year old was okay after I explained the rules, but he's played other games in a similar vein (magic the gathering etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
