Anshul Samar, now a 10th grader in California, created this game having spent 3 years of trials and testing. He has presented at the National Academies of Science, American Chemical Society, and the National Association of Gifted Children as well as appearing on PBS, Fox, NBC, NPR, Scholastic, and in the New York Times.
Elementeo is a strategic chemistry battle game where you move your elements across the battlefield to reduce your opponent’s electrons to zero. In Elementeo, elements have their own personality and fight with each other using their reactionary properties. For example, Oxygen can rust any neighboring metal or Copper Conductor can shock any metals and send them back to the deck. Throughout the game, players create compounds, combat with element reactions, and conquer their opponent with black holes and slippery bases.
Each element card contains the element's atomic number, family, atomic mass, description, oxidation state, and physical state; and players can use these properties to play the game. The Elementeo game has 5 different levels of increasing complexity - elements, reactions, compounds, alchemy, and fusion, making it suitable for many different age groups.
