Master The Sciences In Upcoming Scientia
September 25, 2018 by cassn
Darwin, Newton, Curie, Copernicus - they've got nothing on your science skillz. In Scientia, you attempt to develop personal growth in four fields of scientific technology - biology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy.
Twelve cards are placed in the centre of the table. On their turn, a player can choose a card to place in their personal development field. Each player has two personal development slots, however, completing certain card objectives can provide further development slots.
Players can also choose to rotate cards on their turn - either rotating one card 180º or two cards 90º. When a card has reached a 360º rotation, it is placed back into the center board and the player moves their personal development tracker in the field to which the card applies.
The game is over when all tech or flask tokens have been used, and the player with the highest level of overall development is declared the winner.
Scientia is interesting because it attempts to remove as much luck from the game as possible. Players are presented with 12 visible cards and there are no dice or random card draws so they are able to form a cohesive strategy to complete the game.
There are 48 cards included in the set, so there is also an element of replayability. I love the art on this game - it feels sufficiently post-modern to pique my nerd interests. It will be previewing at Essen later this year.

Sounds really amazing. As I understood you will not learn some aspects of these subjects in real. I have already wanted to open this link and to tell my physics tutor that I don’t need his services, lol. I really love games that are connected with self-development and that is why I will buy this in the near future, as I think.
