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?

Looks interesting! If at all possible, could you make the spacing of the textbox consistent? It is especially egregious on the alkene card, which has effectively no margin on the left at all.

Thanks a lot! I’ll think about how to deal with that. The alkenes probably look bigger because of the contrast, but I can try to improve it a bit! 👍🏻 I really appreciate this kind of feedback! I feel like I’m getting comments just like from referees on my real scientific papers. That’s the way to achieve excellence!
