    Good review. Subatomic has been sitting on my shelf of shame for a while. I am a science educator and have letters behind my name, as you say. I wanted more educational science games in my collection that I could maybe play with my kids one day and really wanted to like Subatomic. But at the end of the day it never calls to me more than any of the other games on my shelf. And I feel bad, because the company's goal is to introduce science concepts though gaming.
    That said, I do enjoy Cytosis, which is a worker placement made by the same designers. Nothing groundbreaking, but the mechanics fit the theme very well and I felt it taught scientific concepts during gameplay. I would say that is worth at least checking out.

      I think I’d be more interested in a philosophy theme as thats where my letters come from. The bloat of the rulebook doesn’t help enamour people to the theme who otherwise find the subject matter daunting. There were occasions where I was thinking to myself “what on earth are they going on about?” and got frustrated.

      @@BoardGameBollocks can’t say I blame you. That said my copy is still in shrink so I haven’t even picked up the tile book. Just watched some Playthrough a online after the KS delivered.
      I can think of several science related games, but none on philosophy come to mind. Any you’ve found interesting?

      Closest I’ve come to a game about philosophy is the characters in civ games...maybe genius games can fill the hole???

      If you want to wax philosophically about a civ game then I suggest Tapestry whereby your stone-aged civ can potentially invent a 20th century technology. But I digress 😋

      Live-streaming that one in about 20 mins...uncanny!
