I’ll show you how to play a fun game called “The Mendeleev Card Game.” Let’s get started!

First, grab the Game Indicator Card and set it aside. Then, take the rest of the cards and give them a good shuffle.

Next, deal 5 cards face down to each player. Make sure no one looks at their cards just yet!

Now, take the remaining cards and create a pile in the center of the table. This will be called the “draw pile.”

It’s time to reveal the first card! Take the top card from the draw pile and turn it over, placing it face up in the middle of the table. This card is the Mendeleev Card.

First, I look at the cards that have been dealt to me, making sure not to let the other players see them. We all do the same.

Next, we decide who goes first. Usually, it’s the youngest player.

Let’s Play

I start by taking the Periodyx Game Indicator Card and playing the first game on the list. I’m the lead player for this game.

After each round, I pass the Periodyx Game Indicator Card to the player on my left. That player becomes the lead player for the next game on the list.

Now it’s the next player’s turn to have the Periodyx Game Indicator Card. They will lead the next game.

We keep passing the Periodyx Game Indicator Card around, with each player leading the next game on the list.

When a player reaches the end of the list, the next player starts again from the top. We keep going like this until the game is over.

When I have the Periodyx Game Indicator Card, I get to be the lead player. It’s a pretty important role, and here’s what I do during the game:

Game 1, Atomic Power

First, I pick another player and ask them to choose a card from their hand. They have to read out loud the name of the element on that card, but they can’t show me the card. Then, it’s my turn to pick a card from my hand and read out loud the element’s name on that card. Now comes the exciting part – we compare our cards!

If the Atomic Number on my card is higher than the other player’s card, I win! I get to take both cards and add them to my hand. But if the other player’s card has a higher Atomic Number, they get to take both cards instead.

Once this is done, it’s the end of my turn, and it’s time for the next player to take their turn.

Game 2, A-2-Z

For the second game, I get to choose any letter of the alphabet. Then, I pick a player – it can be anyone I want. I ask them if they have an element that starts with the letter I chose.

When I play this game, I have to ask a player if they have a card that starts with a certain letter. If they do, they have to give me the card, and then it’s their turn. But if they don’t have a card that starts with the letter I asked for, they have to take a card from the draw pile. Then it’s still their turn, and I have to ask someone else.

Now, there’s another game called Hot Stuff. In this game, I have to ask one player to choose a card and tell me the name of the element on it. I also have to choose a card and say the name of the element on it.

So, here’s how it goes. First off, we gotta compare both cards. Then, the player who has the card with the HIGHER boiling point, well, they’re the winner and they get to, you know, take both cards and add them to their hand. Pretty cool, right? But hey, their turn is over and it’s time for the next player to take their shot.

Game 4, Hi-Lo

Alright, let’s get started with Game 4, Hi-Lo! As the new lead player, I’ll choose any card from my hand and place it face up in front of me.

Now, I have to make a decision. I can choose any stat from the Stat Section, except for the date stat. I’ll predict whether the next card, which will be turned over from the “draw pile,” will have a higher or lower number in the same stat.

Here comes the moment of truth! The top card from the “draw pile” is now revealed, and we’ll compare it to the card I placed earlier. Let’s see if I made the right prediction.

If my prediction was correct, I get to keep both cards and add them to my hand. But if I guessed wrong, both cards go to the player on my left.

That wraps up my turn, and now it’s time for the next player to take their shot.

Game 5, Neutron Countdown

Hey there! Let me explain how this game works. I’m going to ask one of you to choose a card from your hand and tell me the name of the element on it, but don’t show me the card. Then, I’ll choose a card from my own hand and say out loud the element on it.

Now comes the exciting part! We’ll compare the two cards. The player who has the element with the higher number of neutrons gets to keep both cards and add them to their own hand. How cool is that?

Once that’s done, it’s the next player’s turn. Simple, right?

Game 6, Add-it

For this game, the lead player will take the top card from the “draw pile” and add it to their hand. Then, it’ll be the next player’s turn. Easy-peasy!

Game 7, Big-freeze

Let me tell you about a fun new game called “Element Showdown.” I’m going to explain the rules to you and give you a summary of each game variation.

In “Element Showdown,” the players take turns picking cards from their hands and competing against each other. The goal is to win cards and add them to your own hand.

Here’s how it works: in one game variation, the lead player will choose another player to pick a card from their hand and read out the element’s name. The lead player will then select a card from their own hand and read out the element’s name as well. The cards are compared, and the player with the card that has the lower melting point wins both cards. These cards are then added to their hand. After this, the lead player’s turn ends, and it’s the next player’s turn to play.

Game 8: Element of Surprise

In this version of the game, the lead player asks another player to hold out their cards fanned-out and facedown. The lead player then chooses any one card from the other player and adds it to their own hand. After this, the lead player’s turn ends, and it’s the next player’s turn to play.

Game 9: Early Bird

For this game, the lead player starts by asking another player to select a card in their hand and keep it hidden. Then, the lead player selects any card from their own hand and adds it to their collection. This concludes the lead player’s turn, and play proceeds to the next player.

So here’s how the game goes: I take a card from my hand, any card at all, and I put it down in front of me, face up. Then, I make a prediction. I try to guess whether the next card that we turn over from the “draw pile” will have been discovered earlier or later than the card I just played.

Once I’ve made my prediction, we flip over the top card from the “draw pile” and compare it to my card. If I guessed correctly, I get to keep both cards and add them to my hand!

But if I guessed wrong, both cards go to the player sitting on my left. And that’s the end of my turn. Then it’s the next player’s turn to go.

There’s another game called “Game 10, Match.”

In this game, I still take a card from my hand and put it face up in front of me. But this time, I pick another player to do the same thing.

Alright, let me explain this game to you. It’s called “Spot the Match!” In this game, all of us get to play at the same time. The goal is to be the first one to find how two cards match or are the same in some way. For example, maybe both cards are made of metals or both are solids. Another possibility is if both element names start with the letter ‘P’. If you spot any similarity like that, it counts as a correct match.

The player who spots the match gets to keep both cards, and that can be any player! This also ends their turn, and then it moves on to the next player.

Here’s another game called “Natural/Synthetic/Radioactive”.

In this game, the lead player picks any card from their hand and puts it face-down in front of them. Then they ask another player to do the same. Once both players have put their cards down, they flip them over at the same time. Now, we need to check the symbols at the bottom of the cards to see if they are Natural, Synthetic, or Radioactive.

When you win a round, you get to keep both cards and add them to your hand. But if it’s a tie, both players hold onto their cards. This ends your turn as the lead player, and it’s now time for the next player to take their turn.

The Mendeleev Card

Before your turn, if you have a card that matches the colored bars on the Mendeleev Card (check out the example), you can place it next to the Mendeleev Card. This lets you play that card on the table and draw two cards from the “draw pile”.

If there are already 2 or more cards on the table (it’s like the start of the periodic table), you can play any card that matches one of the existing cards. Every time you do this, you get to draw two new cards for each card you play.

The Game’s End

There are two ways to end the game:

1. If I manage to collect TEN cards in my hand, I’ll stop playing and win the game!
2. If I lose ALL the cards in my hand, the game comes to a halt.

Ties or Unknowns

If there’s a tie during any round, that round doesn’t count. This means it’s not my turn anymore, and it’s time for the next player and the next game on the Periodyx Game Indicator Card.

If a card has an “N/K” (not known) on it, that round is nullified. I can choose to keep the card with an “N/K” or replace it by putting it at the bottom of the draw pile and taking the top card from there.
