About the game
The goal of Antimatter Matters is to collect the right elementary particles to assemble an atom. You have to avoid hazards like quantum entanglement, antimatter collisions, cosmic radiation and solar flares messing up your instruments—not to mention the actions of other player-scientists pursuing the same goal. Along the way, you'll learn something about the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics: how a handful of elementary particles interact in various ways to form the nuclei and atoms that make up ourselves and everything we experience in the world around us.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Antimatter Matters for ages 11 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
