Periodic: A Game of the Elements
$35.99
Periodic: A Game of the Elements is a strategic board game that turns the periodic table into an interactive learning adventure. Designed by Genius Games, it blends chemistry and gameplay, making it a perfect tool for reinforcing science concepts in a fun, competitive way. Players navigate the periodic table by using elemental trends—like atomic number or group properties—to collect elements and complete goal cards.
The game offers two movement options: spend energy to leverage multiple periodic trends for strategic positioning, or focus on a single trend to reclaim all energy spent on it. This dynamic creates engaging decisions that mirror real-world chemistry principles. Along the way, players score points by landing on element groups or fulfilling sets, reinforcing their understanding of the table's structure.
Perfect for junior high and high school students (grades 7–12), Periodic aligns with STEM curricula while encouraging critical thinking and strategy. The included materials—a game board, element cards, energy tokens, and goal cards—provide everything needed for immersive gameplay. Whether used in classrooms or at home, it’s a hands-on way to make chemistry memorable and exciting.
