Anyone use RightStarts chemistry game kit?

We have loved RightStart card games. We try to get a day in once a week where we play a game. 

I noticed they now have a chemistry card game kit. Anyone use it? Is it good?

Never tried it, but now I'm curious! Link it up?

This is it from Rainbow Resource. I'm sure RightStart has it on their site too.

We found the RS math games ”okay”. The bulk were pretty simple & were repetitive from one topic to the next, but a few were genuinely fun to play (not just “fun for a school game”) & the materials are high-quality. 

My hesitation with a Chemistry games kit from RS is that there are several fabulous chemistry board games already in production: Periodic, Valence Plus, Subatomic, etc. These are entertaining games with solid mechanics that really dig into chemistry in engaging ways. 

I did find a sample of the Chemistry games book that gives more details on the included decks & games:

The RS chemistry games set appears to be a rebranding, which addresses chemistry exclusively from the frame of arithmetic needed to succeed in class.  From the sample: 

“… without a good mathematics foundation, many students find chemistry challenging to learn…

Chemistry students of all ages benefit from a review of basic mathematical operations...”
