Overview
- 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.

- 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.

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!

My kids (10-14 yrs old) love the game! I love using games to supplement/reinforce their learning.
The game was easy to learn and game play moves quickly enough no one gets bored between turns.

I thought this game might be a fun way to learn about different elements and the atomic aspects of each (mass, number of particles, etc…), but there are only like 4 different elements you build in the game. Not impressed at all.

Bought for a Christmas gift. Still a few months before being opened.

We love to play science based games as a family. I already owned a few chemistry and math based games and was looking for physics based game. this is really challenging game. Cards and pieces are of high quality and the game teaches a lot of atomic concepts. great for middle and high schoolers.

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.
