Periodic: A Game of the Elements
November 27, 2020
Periodic: A Game of The Elements is a strategy board game designed around the periodic table of elements, as well as some of the most fundamental principles in chemistry that can be derived from the structure and function of the periodic table.
Players maneuver across the periodic table to collect elements to score Goal Cards, and land on element groups to score points. Players either pay energy to use multiple periodic trends to move across the table, or select just one trend and collect all the energy payed to that trend!
This is more a chemistry-themed game, in that you can play it without knowing chemistry, but it will certainly help reinforce vocabulary and concepts. I can't see using this in the classroom, but it would make a cool game for a games club if your school has one — and a lovely present for your favourite young science geek!
