For example: You ask, Is your mystery element a gas? or Was your mystery element named after a scientist? Your opponent answers, No. Close all the doors to elements that are gases or were named after scientists. You are now closer to figuring out the mystery element. Now its your opponents turn to ask a yes or no question.
The Periodic Table! Get to know the game: Set-up

Choose a game card (The First 24 Elements or The Elements and STSE) and slide it into the game tray. Choose a mystery element from one of the top two rows and slide the selector over that element. The other selector should be completely to the left of the window. Open all of the doors on your game tray so you can see the elements.
Winning
Once you think you know your opponents mystery element, wait until your next turn and make your guess instead of asking a question. If you guess correctly, you win. If you guess wrong, your opponent wins!
Championship Play
For tournament-style play, slide the scorekeeper up one for every game you win. The first player to win five games is the champion!
Challenge Game
For an extra challenge, both players choose two elements one from the first row and one from the second row. Your object is to guess both of your opponents mystery elements. Youll have to say both or either when asking questions about two mystery elements. For example, you could ask, Are both of your elements mined in Canada? or, Does either of your elements react exothermically with water? Be very careful when eliminating elements! For example: You ask, Is either of your elements radioactive? and your opponent answer yes. You cannot close any doors, because even though one mystery element is definitely radioactive, the other one may not be! To win the Challenge Game, you must guess both of the mystery elements correctly on the same turn.
Object
Be the first to guess your opponents mystery element!
Playing the Game

The younger player goes first. Players alternate turns by asking a YES or NO question. Depending on the answer, you will close the door(s) to any elements you know are NOT your opponents mystery element. Note: You may ask any questions about an elements properties (lustrous, flammable, metal, gas, etc.) but you may not ask questions about an elements location on the periodic table (group or period). This would make the game too easy!
Glossary and Legend

Alchemy: Alchemists were the first chemists, working with many elements and developing scientific processes. Alchemists tried to turn cheap, common metals into precious metals like silver and gold, and to create the fabled philosopher's stone. Allotrope: An element that exists in two or more different structural forms within a single phase (solid, liquid or gas) is allotropic. Graphite, diamonds, grapheme and fullerenes are all allotropes of carbon. Antiquity: These elements have been known to humans since before the middle ages (1500 CE). Copper was probably the first to be mined and crafted, as early as 9000 BCE. Canada: Many elements are mined in Canada. While the mining industry is economically important across Canada, Northern Ontario has the greatest concentration of mines in the country. Gas: These elements naturally exist as gasses at standard temperature and pressure. Essential: Elements that are necessary for animal or plant life are called macronutrients or micronutrients, depending on the quantity needed. These nutrients cannot be synthesized in the body and must be consumed. Mythology: Many elements were named for Greek, Roman or Norse gods. Many elements that are named for astronomical bodies have mythological names, too. For example, selenium was named for Selene, which is both moon in Greek, and the Greek moon goddess. Non-metal: There are only 18 non-metallic elements to more than 80 metals, but non-metals make up most of Earths crust, atmosphere and oceans. They are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, are dull and brittle, and have lower densities than metals. Place name: Many elements were named for cities, states, countries or continents. For example, copper was derived from the Latin for Cypress. Radioactive: The nuclei of these atoms are unstable and lose energy through radiation, transforming into an atom with a lower atomic weight, or into a lighter element. Elements heavier than bismuth are radioactive. Scientist: Many elements were named for scientists who made important contributions to our understanding of the elements. For example, seaborgium was named for Glenn Seaborg, who discovered 10 elements. Synthetic/transient: These elements are so radioactive that they are not stable in nature. Transient elements are produced by heavier elements as they decay. Synthetic elements do not exist on Earth and are created in the lab. Toxic: Some elements are poisonous, causing acute illness, cancer or birth defects. Some essential elements are toxic if ingested in the wrong state. Many toxic elements bioaccumulate in the body or food chain. Women: Only four elements were discovered by women. Marie Curie was the first. She was also the first woman to win the Nobel prize, and the first person ever to receive it twice.
