## Overview

Subatomic: an Atom Building Game (2nd Edition) is a 2-4 player deck-building board game that combines authentic atomic science with strategic gameplay. Players draft and upgrade decks of subatomic particles to construct atoms, claim elements, and recruit famous scientists for special abilities. Designed by a chemical engineer and supported by a global team of Ph.D. scientists, this STEM-compliant game offers 40-60 minutes of educational fun, perfect for classrooms, families, and strategy game enthusiasts.

## Description

Subatomic is a deck-building game about creating atoms for 2 to 4 players that plays in about 40-60 minutes. Use your own deck of subatomic particles to build up and claim point-scoring atoms like Helium and Lithium, and buy additional subatomic particles to improve your deck over the course of the game. As your deck improves, you’ll be able to build more complicated atoms, and since everyone is building their decks separately, there is plenty of room to out-strategize and out-compete your opponents. Subatomic is a great game for people new to deck-building, but there are also deeper strategic elements for those more experienced, like Scientist cards that grant special abilities and End Goals that require you to compete for which atoms to score points on. Use the included ‘Science Behind the Game’ booklet, crowdsourced by Ph.D. doctors and scientists around the world, to learn all about the science of atoms and how that science is incorporated into the game.

Review: Gorgeous Game, Great Theme - This game was gorgeous straight out of the box. I literally gasped when I opened it - the components are beautiful and the box insert is laid out well. This is a deck building game, where you can add better cards to your personal deck and discard weaker ones in order to claim different elements. Aside from the rule book, there is another booklet that is all about the science behind the game. It explains the meaning of the science cards used in the game (quarks, protons, atoms, energy, etc.), describes the elements you are working to claim, and highlights the scientists used in the game (which play as power-up cards for your deck). I love the theme of the game, and since this is an area of science I’ve never understood well, I felt like I was actually starting to grasp the concept of building atoms to make elements while I played. The addition of different scientists as “power up” cards was brilliant, and their different abilities were really unique and added a really great twist to the game. Overall this is a well-made game with a great theme and fun game play!
Review: Fantastic Chemistry Game - I really like this game. It might be my favorite chemistry game from genius games. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that they don't use all the Electrons for each atom built. I really would have loved if they had included the Electrons being filled in the appropriate orders/orbitals. But, still a great game that we will play often.

## Features

- INTRO TO DECK BUILDING: Subatomic is a card drafting strategy game where 2-4 players compete to build point-scoring atoms by playing subatomic particle cards from their unique deck. You can purchase new cards and add them to your deck throughout the game, making everyone’s strategy different. Build atoms like Helium and Beryllium, and gain bonus points for claiming the most of each element. Subatomic is designed to be an approachable and fun board game for ages 14+.
- ACCURATE SCIENCE: Designed by John J. Coveyou, a chemical engineer, Subatomic was designed with real science in mind. Your deck begins with up quarks, down quarks, and photons. Use these cards to obtain protons, neutrons, and electrons which improve your deck. You'll soon be building atoms, claiming Element Cards to score points, and learning organic chemistry along the way. Included with the game is a Science Behind booklet, crowdsourced from a diverse team of Ph.D. doctors and scientists from around the world.
- EDUTAINMENT THAT’S FUN: Genius Games creates science-accurate games that are not only educational, but engaging, strategic, and fun. Subatomic is NGSS and STEM compliant, is American MENSA recommended, was a MENSA Mind Games finalist, and is currently used in many high school classrooms worldwide. Subatomic is also revered by gamers, having received the coveted Seal of Excellence from The Dice Tower.
- SCIENCE HISTORY: As you construct atoms, you can also spend energy recruiting famous scientists into your deck, like Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrodinger, and Marie Curie. These famous inventors were famous for their contributions to the field of molecular chemistry and grant you special powers to give you an edge over your opponents.
- PLAYER COUNT AND GAME TIME: Subatomic is a board game for 2 to 4 players, and plays in about 40-60 minutes. This family board game also makes a great gift for chemists, doctors, scientists, teachers, kids, and teens. No matter the group, Subatomic will provide lots of fun while stimulating the scientist inside all of us!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great educational (and fun) game!
*by S***Q on January 17, 2021*

We have played this twice- ages 47, 11 & 10. Once you figure out how it's played (which isn't too difficult), it's really fun. My biggest problem is that my kids like to run off between turns which makes the game drag out forever. I would really enjoy this with a group of adults. I plan to play tomorrow with just my 10 year old. She played it for the first time tonight and had no idea what was going on in terms of science but she caught onto the game play quickly and literally jumped up and down when she was able to pay for beryllium. Who knew? Great educational (and fun) game!
