Cheapest Elemento Game - Learn the Periodic Table

• Elemento makes learning the elements fun
• Teaches symbols, number of Protons and neutrons, group designations, rare earth elements, and common uses of elements
• Generally, this game appears to play like Monopoly, where you can collect the element you land on if no one has purchased it yet.
• You collect protons and neutrons like money, and purchase the elements by paying the deisignated amounts for the element
• From 1996.

This Board Games give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Elemento taught us nothing and made us like chemistry less
My colleague unfortunately procured eight copies of this game to assist in teaching her Chemistry for Elementary Education Majors course. Despite claiming to be completely made in America, the rules read as if they had been translated from German to English via Chinese. There are so many ambiguities in both the instructions and the game play cards that four board game geek PhD chemists were not exactly sure how to play the game. The game mechanics are a combination of boring and frustrating, and there was virtually no educational value. After attempting to play, one of my colleagues said, "I now like chemistry less than I did before." I can't imagine what effect this game would have on a reluctant chemistry student.

2. We Love This Game!
I think the game that's received such a poor review must be a different, older version. Our game is the 2008 version from Alchemist Empire, Inc. Ours looks completely different from the one pictured with the white board.

My kids have loved playing this game and it has actually HELPED them learn the periodic table, and to love chemistry. Maybe the 'professionals' are overthinking it?

For someone coming from the other end (not knowing anything about the periodic table) it has been a lot of fun and very useful, and I would highly recommend it for a great introduction to chemistry.
