JOF offline - Women in Science
Hey there, folks! :)
Today we’ll get a little bit offline, to talk about this great, awesome card game.
Women in Science.
This cute, educational card game teaches about great women in science.
It is really easy to play, as the IndieGogo campaign explains:
“ Each player receives 6 cards, the deck is put at the center of the table and the first card is removed to start the discard pile. The goal is to collect 4 cards of the same color to form a « lab ». The first player who forms 3 labs wins. At the beginning of a turn, the player chooses to take a card from the deck or to take the first card of the discard pile. At the end of the turn, he can only keep 6 cards in his hand, the rest has to be discarded. To spice up things, some cards have more than one color, and special cards permit to take any scientist from the discard pile, steal 2 scientists from an opponent's lab (the lab is destroyed and the remains return in the opponent's hand) or make an exact copy of a scientist. “
It’s a really cool initiative, showing the kids different kinds of role models (scientists, mathematicians, biologists, etc).
And the folks behind it are so cool that they’re going to donate 100 packs of the game to charity (as a reward of getting R$ 6000,00 on the campaign).
Check it out! :)
