- 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!
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.
