Sur les traces de Marie Curie (French)

By using the machine present in his laboratory, and represented by a cube tower, you will be able to manipulate and transform your resources in order to carry out various experiments on Pitchblende, Uranium and Radium. You will also be able to improve your workshop using cards that offer different bonuses. By writing Theses, you will be able to collect increasingly interesting bonuses.

HOW TO PLAY?

In turn, you will follow 4 steps:

Use the Workshop machine: here, you take the cubes indicated on the Workshop tile from the reserve and throw them into the cube tower. Those that fall down the tower are available for your research!

Carry out your research: during this phase, you must choose between recovering resources at the bottom of the tower or writing a Thesis. Your resources take place in your Erlenmeyer flask. If you choose to take a Thesis, you recover the bonuses which are indicated on the Thesis tile collected.

Carry out your experiments: here, you can undertake numerous actions, and in the order of your choice, such as buying an Activity card, transforming resources, validating your Personal Objective or validating Experience tiles.

Rest: it’s the end of your tour! You must check the number of resources present in your Erlenmeyer flask and you move the Workshop marker to the next space.

During your game, you will follow the major events in the life of Marie Curie via a timeline. Once the players reach the end, the one with the most points wins the game!

As in In the Footsteps of Darwin, In the Footsteps of Marie Curie contains a special booklet which allows you to learn more about the life of the eminent scientist as well as her subject of research: radioactivity.

You can discover the major stages of his discoveries on Radium, his meetings with colleagues like Einstein and the story behind his double Nobel Prize. And if you ask yourself questions like “how to determine the age of a fossil?” », you will find the answer in this booklet!
