Ion: A Compound Building Game
Draft element and noble gas cards to assemble compounds and inert sets. Players draft from a hand of cards, keep one and pass the rest, then either bond that card with another element or set it aside for later ionic pairing. Compound Goal cards award extra points for specific molecule constructions, and Action Tiles grant limited special moves that carry a point cost when used. Score is based on constructed neutrally balanced compounds and collected noble gas sets over three rounds; players total round scores, subtract Action Tile costs, and compare totals to determine the winner.
