This game is great. I love how it could encourage children to learn about the Periodic table and know what they may learn more in depth in high school or college. It encourages many things outside of science. We found ourselves looking up the pronunciation of some elements we were not familiar with. It is nice to know that educational can be incorporated in with strategy games.

In Periodic, you will move your flask around the board to research elements that are on goal cards. Every player can research goal cards, but can you be the first to complete one? Each player receives points for helping the research, but the player that completes all the research will receive the goal card.
While doing your research, you will also want to advance on your academic track by moving your microscope to all the different element groups. This will grant you end of game points based on your academic achievements.
Each game, you will have your own agenda, which will grant you additional points for specific achievements throughout the game.
The publisher, Genius Games, suggests this game for players 10+. I agree with this. There is a mild strategy to the game that players of different ages over 10+ could adopt and blend well together. I would not think this game is limited to a group of players with a specific age range. It could easily be a family game.

I love the colors. It looks so good on the table. I cannot wait to play this one again. I look forward to the future of Genius Games. My friend backed their newest game, Genotype, on Kickstarter. It should be a good one.
