Abstract
A molecular structure game is provided for creating chemical compounds which are taken from playing cards that are played out by using element hexagon-shaped marker pieces on four pyramid-like areas of connecting multi-hexagon spaces on a game board. The elements are chosen by moving playing pieces along a continuous path around the game board perimeter.
Claims4
A molecular structure game which comprises:
- a) a game board having a continuous path around its perimeter divided into consecutive block spaces bearing two randomly distributed separate elements with an even and odd atomic number, four starting spaces each located at one corner thereof and four pyramid-like areas of connecting multi-hexagon spaces;
- b) four playing pieces, with one for each of the game players, said playing pieces being of a size to fit within each of the block spaces;
- c) a die to indicate the amount of block spaces each said playing piece must travel upon;
- d) a deck of playing cards, with each card having a compound formula and a corresponding molecular weight thereon, said compound formula having elements corresponding to elements on said block spaces;
- and
- e) a plurality of hexagon-shaped marker pieces, each piece having random element identifications thereon corresponding to an element on said block spaces, said marker pieces are to be allotted in equal amounts to each of the players, and utilized for placement upon the multi-hexagon spaces for structuring the compound formula from one said playing card.
