In The Footsteps Of Marie Curie Board Game

Marie Curie was a pioneering scientist in the field of radioactivity, recognised today as one of the greatest scholars in history.

You play the role of young scientists working alongside Marie Curie, helping her with her research. Together, you’ll discover radium, conduct experiments, improve your laboratory, write theses and win Nobel prizes!

This game uses a cube tower as a centrepiece, which represents the machinery you use in Marie Curie’s laboratory – and cubes which represent the different radioactive elements that were central to Marie Curie’s research, such as uranium, radium and pitchblende. Carry out various experiments by throwing stacks of the cubes into the cube tower, whilst also enhancing your workshop with cards that offer bonuses.

Over the course of the game, you’ll follow the major events in Marie Curie’s life through a timeline, with different events occurring. Once you’ve reached the end of the timeline, the player with the most points wins the game!

In the Footsteps of Marie Curie includes a full appendix booklet that provides more information on the life of the eminent scientist and her research subject: radioactivity. In it, you can discover the major stages in her discoveries of Radium, her encounters with peers such as Einstein, and the story behind her double Nobel Prize.
