How to play
Atom Capture

What age and skill level works best with Atom Capture?

Atom Capture was designed for a wide range of ages and skill levels. The designer has had children younger than eight play with the help of their parents and come away with some of the basic ideas. The colors and symbolism go very deep, and so this same game can be played and appreciated by those first learning about the atom in school, as well. These players are usually 12 and up. However, it makes a great simple math game for ages in between.

You Bet Your Isotope

Play games of chance to determine how many neutrons your neon will have. Wager your neutrons to win more protons and electsons.
