## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be played in a classroom group?**
A: I designed it specifically for my classroom, so yes absolutely. I would suggest starting out by just using the 8 cards in a player's hand, and don't use the Action Tiles, remove the Transition Metal, the Polyatomic Ions and Radioactive Cards. Simply deal 8 cards to each player, and flip two goal cards faceup (3 if playing 5 or more players) and then that's it. Once students get the hang of it, then you can add those other components in. Also, the game will play up to 7 players per copy of the game. However, sometimes having 7 students at a single table can get crowded and rambunctious. I usually played with 4 or 5 students to a game. Hope that helps!

**Q: Can 2 play easily?  Do the rules differ for two-player play?**
A: 2 will work, however 3 or 4 is much better.

**Q: What ages is this appropriate for?**
A: We recommend 8 years and up but this age range is dependent on the players familiarization with traditional games and/or chemistry. It's not a really tough game to learn especially if there's an adult to teach the game and help walk younger players through the first few play throughs. You can also find a great How to Play video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCNNJqWCzL8

**Q: How does this compare to Compounded?**
A: I don't know anything about the Compounded game, but this one is very hard to play.  I reread the rules several times and couldn't follow the instructions on how to play and I'm a chemistry teacher!  I didn't even try it out on my classes.
