Subatomic: An Atom Building Game

Players start with an identical small deck of proton, neutron and electron cards and use them to assemble atoms over the course of the game. On a turn, cards are played face-up as subatomic particles to add to a personal atom or played partly face-down as energy to buy more powerful cards for the deck. Available element cards require specific particle counts and grant points when completed, so players balance immediate atom-building with deck improvement. Rounds proceed until a set number of elements are claimed; scoring is based on completed elements and additional bonuses, and multiple resource- and engine-building strategies are viable.
