how long does it take to play a game?

Hello! The typical play time for Periodic is 40-60 minutes.

Is Periodic something a fairly adept 7 year old could manage? If not, is there a better chemistry game for that age group?

Yes I think so, I have a 9 year old and she could do it, but just isn’t interested:) you don’t really need to know chemistry that well. I’ve never revn taken chemistry

Where is the game made?

The game is designed in St. Louis, Missouri from the Genius Games team. The is manufactured in China.

The game does not come with solitaire rules. With repeated plays, however, a solitaire player could try to beat a previous score set in a given number of turns. In essence, the player would be playing against themselves.
