Description: Periodic: A Game of The Elements is a strategy board game designed around the periodic table of elements, as well as some of the most fundamental principles in chemistry that can be derived from the structure and function of the periodic table.
Players maneuver across the periodic table to collect elements to score Goal Cards, and land on element groups to score points. Players either pay energy to use multiple periodic trends to move across the table, or select just one trend and collect all the energy payed to that trend
FASCINATING FACT:
Several pieces, including the flask, the microscope, and the goal markers, are custom wooden shapes rather than generic wood cubes, a tactile detail that fits the chemistry-lab theme.
