Description
Ion: A Compound Building Game is an engaging card drafting game designed for 2 to 7 players. This fast-paced game centers around the educational theme of ionic bonding, making it a perfect choice for both family game nights and classroom environments.
Players start with a hand of ion and noble gas cards, aiming to form neutrally charged compounds or stable noble gases. Through a unique "pick and pass" mechanic, players select cards from their hands while passing the remaining cards to their neighbors. The objective is to strategically create compounds that score points based on their ionic charges. The game is not only entertaining but also scientifically accurate, as it has been peer-reviewed by over 20 PhD Doctors and Scientists. The included Science Behind booklet provides insights into real-world concepts related to the game mechanics.
Key Features:- LEARN SCIENCE: Experience the fundamentals of ionic bonding while creating compounds, exploring charges, anions, and cations.
- FAST PACED: Enjoy a quick gameplay experience lasting 20-30 minutes, ideal for family gatherings or educational settings.
- PICK AND PASS MECHANIC: Engage in a strategic card drafting process where players select and pass cards to create neutrally charged compounds.
- SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE: Game content is validated by professionals in the scientific community, ensuring educational value.
- STEM AND NGSS COMPLIANT: Aligns with educational standards, making it suitable for classroom use and at-home learning.
- RADIOACTIVE CARD GAME: Includes an advanced mode featuring radioactive decay, adding complexity for experienced players.
