Pentaquark: Preview

If you haven’t read it, you should first pick up Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe before you continue reading this review. I’d suggest the Kindle version so you can get it right now. I’ll wait. Done?  Cool, you’ll need it. Today, Fairway previews Pentaquark, a frustratingly fun solitaire game from designer Mike Mullins and part of Buttonshy’s ever-expanding wallet game series. In this preview, Fairway explores the smallest things in the known universe in search of the pentaquark. CERN, look out!  The Kickstarter launches this week!

Science Ninjas: Review

Science Ninjas: Valence is a chemistry-themed card game for 2-5 players.  Players draw elemental ninjas in a silent, but deadly, attempt to form powerful molecules.
