The Art of Science (2010)

About this game

The game was first released in Sweden in august 2010, but in may 2011 an updated version with 2000 questions was released in the UK. Art of Science[sic] is a challenging trivia game for people interested in technology and natural science. The categories are: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Technology and "Other science" (a category of miscellaneous questions). Whether you are a biologist or a mathematician, you will meet on equal terms - you chose your categories! Lack of knowledge or temporary memory loss - ask a fellow player and share the points. During the game you can also challenge your opponent to a duel, get chances of points-replication and answer questions like a universal genius. Take the chance to refresh your old knowledge and conquer new. "Stimulating and challenging, ingenious and at times infuriating, this is smartly designed so that it’s fun and even a little strategic while stretching your scientific knowledge", Quentin Cooper

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
