Molecular-The Strategic Chemistry Tile Game

If you love games and are a chemistry fan than you need to take a look at Molecular-The Strategic Chemistry Tile Game that is currently on Kickstarter and has six days remaining.  
"Long hours in the lab to master your molecule, the life of a junior researcher is a busy one.  Your supervisor has given you specifications for a new molecule, something with huge potential.  It's your job to bring these ideas to fruition using the resources at your disposal.  If only life was that easy.  Rival researchers also have their own agendas, they are more than willing to sabotage the best laid plans or even steal the value of your research for their own ends.  Not to mentions the risks and stresses of working in a lab, be careful not to blow yourself up..."

Molecular is a tile laying game where players attempt to construct molecular compounds by drawing tiles and playing effector & functional group cards.  From the look on Kickstarter, it looks like it could be a fun game.  I'm a backer, but I have not actually played the game.  The game is for 2-8 players, which is really good because it is hard to find a game that plays more than five players.


It seems like there is a new chemistry game popping up on Kickstarter every other month.  The thing is, they all seem to get funded, so people must love chemistry themed board games.  I have to say that I have yet to see a physics board/card game and I have not seen many biology themed games either.

The Kickstarter campaign ends in six days and the game is still not fully funded, so if you haven't done so, cruise over to Kickstater and support this project!

Also if you get a chance, check out my Prefundia page for my game, Molecules that will be hitting Kickstarter in September.  As I said, it seems like chemistry themed games are popping up on Kickstarter every other month!

Thanks
Dan
