Ion: A Compound Building Game

ION is an exciting card drafting board game! Players pick from Ion Cards and Noble Gas cards to create compounds and inert noble gases. Each player gets eight cards, selects one, and passes the rest. You can bond your chosen card with another Element Card or keep it alone for a later ionic bond. Throughout the game, build specific compounds listed on Compound Goal Cards for extra points. Use Action Tiles for more moves. Score based on the neutrally balanced compounds you make and noble gas sets you collect. After three rounds, add your scores, subtract points from used Action Tiles, and the highest - scoring player wins!

To play this Ion card game, first, each player is dealt eight cards. Pick one card and pass the remaining ones to the next player. When you choose a card, you can either pair it with another Element Card or set it aside. Try to build the compounds listed on the Compound Goal Cards to earn extra points. Use the Action Tiles whenever you need more moves during the game. Remember, your score depends on the quantity and type of neutrally balanced compounds and noble gas sets you get. After three rounds, add up your scores from each round and subtract the points from the Action Tiles you've used. The one with the most points at the end wins. As for maintenance, keep the cards and tiles in a dry place and away from direct sunlight to prevent them from getting damaged. And have fun playing!
