Abstract
The present invention is a periodic table based game system. The game board has a periodic table of elements printed upon it. Each of the elements is covered by a magnetic piece with a matching atomic number, such that the players may only view the atomic number of the elements. The game begins when the first player chooses a stick or card with an element name and symbol on it. The player then must lift a magnetic piece to reveal the same element that is listed on the stick or card. If they are successful, they are rewarded points and the next player takes a turn. If they fail three times, the next player will also have three attempts to uncover the correct element and receive points. When all magnetic pieces are removed, the player with the highest sum of points wins the game.
Claims13
A periodic table based game system comprising:
- a game board;
- a periodic table of elements imaged onto the board;
- a plurality of game pieces, each game piece having an atomic number imaged on at least one side of said game piece;
- a plurality of sticks, each stick having a first end and a second end, wherein an element and an element symbol are imaged on the first end;
- a first container to receive the plurality of sticks and having an opening and a bottom;
- a second container to receive the plurality of sticks;
- wherein the plurality of game pieces is placed onto the periodic table of elements, and wherein the plurality of game pieces is able to be removed by a user to uncover the periodic table of elements imaged onto the board.
A periodic table based game system comprising:
- a board;
- a periodic table of elements imaged onto the board;
- a plurality of game pieces, each game piece having an atomic number imaged on one side of said game piece;
- and
- a plurality of cards, each card having a face and a back, wherein an element name and an element symbol is imaged onto the face of each card;
- wherein the plurality of game pieces is placed onto the periodic table of elements, and wherein the plurality of game pieces is able to be removed by a user to uncover the periodic table of elements.
A method of playing using a periodic table based game system having:
- a board comprised of a ferromagnetic material;
- a periodic table of elements imaged onto the board;
- a plurality magnetic pieces, each magnetic piece having an atomic number imaged on one side of the magnetic piece;
- a first container;
- a second container;
- and
- a plurality of sticks, each stick having an element and an element symbol imaged on at least one side of the stick;
- wherein the method of playing the periodic table based game has steps comprising:
- i. one or more players placing the plurality of magnetic pieces on top of the periodic table to cover the periodic table of elements;
- ii. a first player choosing a stick from the plurality of sticks provided in the first container;
- iii. the first player matching the element and the element symbol imaged on the stick with a matching element provided on the periodic table of elements;
- iv. the first player receiving points for a correct match;
- v. placing the stick into the second container;
- and
- vi. a next player choosing a stick form the plurality of sticks, wherein the method of playing the periodic table based game system is repeated until all of magnetic pieces of the plurality of magnetic pieces are removed from the periodic table of elements.
