Molecules is a card game for 2–4 players ages 12 and over. Randomly drawn molecule cards give players target compounds such as carbon dioxide, nitric acid and water. Chemists then pick up atom cards in turn and gain points by using them to build the target molecules. The aim is to be the chemist at the end of the game with the most molecule points. It takes 30–40 minutes to play.
