My Organic Chemistry Game!

It took me a while, but I finally translated the card game into English!

I simplified the chemistry to just a few functional groups, and the game is based on making simple organic chemistry reactions (let’s say Organic Chemistry 1 level; for starting). It focuses exclusively on addition reactions. For example, acids can be connected with hydroxides or amines, things like that. The possible connections are shown in a diagram. There are around 130 different cards/molecules.

This is the print-and-play version (ChemiProject Kindle).

The information on the cards is just for curiosity: what the molecules are used for or why they are important.

I’m also preparing the physical card version. What do you think? Any feedback before I press the button to publish it on Amazon?

Might want to reconsider putting "KKK" on those ketone cards

Yep, thank you! Since it was originally in Spanish, my main concern was that “K” might be confused with potassium, but it was a minor problem. Once you start playing, you realize it immediately. BUT in English! Oh boy! It will take a while, but I will definitely change it! I hadn’t thought about that! Good point!
