The twist is that things don't go exactly as planned, but who's counting? The goal is to manipulate the pieces on the board to match the patterns on the cards in your hand. Each card represents a newly discovered element (or something close to it!), and when you complete a pattern, you reveal the card and add it to your score pile. It's an abstract strategy game with a dash of humor and references to the periodic table that will have you chuckling. The modular board ensures that each game presents a new challenge, and managing your cards and action points is key to victory. It's easy to learn but possesses that depth that makes you want to play again to optimize your moves. The game ends when no more cards can be drawn, and the player with the most points wins. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is whoever discovered more adjacent elements on the periodic table – a rule that adds an extra, fun thematic touch. It's the kind of quick game, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of thinking without excessive stress, and who also appreciate a cleaner, abstract look with a light and amusing theme. ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Wrong Chemistry?
