Hi everybody, Good news everyone! Let me introduce you to new games.
This is a card game to learn science. You will have to use all the knowledge and the internet to come up with the best set of elements of the periodic table (as a poker hand) and if needed you will have to come up with a scientific explanation why.
The best poker hand is the element present in the DNA as it's the most rare in the universe and is essential to life. From then on you will have to provide why your hand is more valuable than the other players.
As an example, which would be more valuable, coinage metals or water? Coinage metals are 3 cards and water 2. You could get "pocket water" if you get the elements H and O preflop. Would you bluff or bet?
To gather all the best combinations and make a conventional international hierarchy of the hands, you can share the combination of cards that you deem valuable in a stack overflow like app/webapp in which by voting and reviewing the information the hierarchy will be formed by the community.
As we discover more things and as the technology evolves this hierarchy can and will probably keep changing over time.
The most important rule of this game is inspired by our good friend Alfred Nobel. As the best cards are the elements of life, saying that radioactive elements are more valuable as they provide great destruction power is wrong and any sort of comment should be followed by a prompt disqualification. The better argument is that with radioactive elements you can sustain life as it is a renewable source of energy.
