Genius Games publishes high-quality table-top science games for kids ages 8 and up. The company’s hope is to design games that are a blast to play, but simultaneously demystify intimidating concepts in the sciences and engage the players in a lifelong process of inquiry. Genius Games is a valuable resource for outside-the-box learning because by learning the rules of the game, kids learn the rules of science. Current games available include:

PEPTIDE: A Protein Building Game – Players compete to link Amino Acids side-by-side, building a Peptide Chain, after selecting from available Organelles.

ION: A Compound Building Game – Players select from ion cards and noble gas cards, to form either neutrally charged compounds or sets of stable noble gases.

COVALENCE: A Molecule Building Game – Players work cooperatively to reconstruct a number of organic compounds based upon clues given throughout the game.

VIRULENCE: An Infectious Card Game – Players act as Viruses, competing to infect a host cell by collecting viral components!
