Rules

The game's objective is to combine cards to create a chemical reaction. To achieve this, the players must follow these steps:

1. Initially, a player must click the "Start the Game" button to open a game room. After, they must share the room code with other game participants so that they can enter the online room.

2. When all the players have entered the room, they must type their names into one of three "Player" slot (Figure 1a).

3. Then, the participants select the reaction group and click the respective button (Figure 1b). This action will present three decks (Substrate, Reagent, and Product) corresponding to the reaction group selected (Figure 2a). Each of these decks has one joker card that can correspond to a substrate, reagent, or product according to the player's needs. Six other cards (two substrates, two reagents, and two products) will also be moved to each player's private area (Figure 2b) - each player can only see the cards in their own private area.

4. Then, the first player must drag only one card from one of the three decks (Substrate, Reagent, or Product) to their private area (Figure 2b).

5. After dragging the card to their private area, the player must try to build a chemical reaction using only their cards - it can have at most one joker card. If it is not possible, they must discard one of their cards to the respective discard pile (Figure 2c) - Substrate, Reagent, or Product - and pass the turn to the next player.

6. The game follows this dynamic (Steps 4 and 5) until a player creates a chemical reaction, becoming the winner.

Special rule: If a player needs only one specific card to create the reaction and another player discards it from their own private area, they do not need to wait for their turn and they can say "I won!", showing the reaction created using the card just discarded and so winning the game.

To restart the game, a player must click the "Restart" button (Figure 1f), which will collect all the cards on the table and shuffle them.
