Educational Science Games
Learn about crystals, the periodic table and protein-drug interactions through card games. You will find card games designed to introduce younger scientists to the wonders of crystals.
The Elements in Crystals Battlecards is a new addition to our celebrations for the International Year of the Periodic Table. This deck is based on elements from our Elements in Crystals community-led project, which accompanies you in the exploration of the periodic table with fun facts and crystal structures. Each card represents an element (from hydrogen to xenon, in this version) and it contains information about the element itself and about the crystal structure celebrating it.
Bound! is a card game for ages 12 and up where players compete to match the most Drugs to Protein targets. The Bound! card deck features 15 unique pairs of drug and protein structures. There are six different card types comprised of three varieties of target-drug pairing: Bacteria to Antibiotic, Virus to Antiviral and Cancer to Anticancer.
