📝 Rules & Scoring — Board 1: Classic

⭐ BEGINNER

🎯 Objective

Score the most points by harvesting elements and bonding them into molecules.

📝 Setup

Each player gets 18 tokens. Use 2 dice: Die 1 (1=A,2=B,3=C,4=D,5=E,6=F), Die 2 (1–6 as-is). Timer: 12 min.

⏱ Phase 1: Harvest (12 min)

Roll both dice → coordinate (e.g. B4). Place token on cell, claim element. Alternate turns.

⚗️ Phase 2: Bonding (8 min)

Combine inventory into molecules using recipes. Each player takes a turn. Points per molecule.

⚔️ Conflict Rules

  • Challenge: Chemistry quiz. Win=steal. Lose=−30s penalty
