Reaction Game - pretty to look at, but... |

I used this game with a group of six middleschoolers who are quite familiar with the concept of building molecules. We've tried to play it on three occasions, but we've never managed to complete a game.
The game is very pretty, but it seems like they spent all their time on visual design, and not enough on the game mechanics. For example, in the rules, you're told to make a discard pile, but nowhere is there any mention of _why_ you would discard any of your cards. This sort of problem - trying to figure out what the game designers _meant_ you to do - occurs frequently, and means that the game is almost impossible to play.
There aren't enough potential molecules listed, and the ones that are listed are very heavy on the C, N, O, and H (as is the real world!) but there aren't enough extra of those cards in the deck.
I think we're just going to have to make up our own rules...
