Description

Get ready for a fun and educational experience with Lab Notes, a roll-and-write game that challenges you to create chemical bonds. In this 30 to 45 minute game, 2 to 5 players take turns rolling elemental dice, choosing which elements to keep and where to notate them in their lab notes. The goal is to combine elements to form real chemicals, with double and triple bonds worth more points. As you play, you'll need to manage your lab notes carefully, deciding which elements to keep and which to trash for benefits later on. With handy notecards outlining real chemicals you can make, you'll earn bonuses for creating them. The game ends when one player fills up their sheet, and the player with the most points wins. With its unique blend of dice rolling and puzzle-solving, Lab Notes is a great game for fans of educational games and puzzles, and its normal complexity makes it easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games.
