SETUP
Each player picks a physicist token — The Apple, The Prism, The Cloud Chamber, or Schrödinger's Box — and starts with a set amount of Tachyon Bits (TB).
Color-Neutral Baryon = One of Each Charge
Collider Quest is a particle-physics-themed educational board game where players race around a collider to build matter. Using Tachyon Bits (TB), you collect quarks, leptons, and bosons, answer Quantum Quirk cards, and survive lab events. The first player to assemble the winning recipe — 1 Baryon, 1 Lepton, and 2 Gauge Bosons — wins.
Teaches the Standard Model of particle physics.
Builds strategic and probabilistic thinking.
Boosts focus and problem-solving.
Makes abstract physics concrete and playful.
Encourages friendly competition and social learning.
Sparks curiosity about STEM and quantum science.
Each player picks a physicist token — The Apple, The Prism, The Cloud Chamber, or Schrödinger's Box — and starts with a set amount of Tachyon Bits (TB).
On your turn, roll and move clockwise around the collider, starting from Funding (Start).
Land on an unowned particle to buy it with TB. Land on a particle someone owns and pay them a 2 TB Peer Review citation fee.
Draw Quantum Quirk cards to answer physics questions and win or lose TB. Draw Lab Event cards for breakthroughs and setbacks.
Quarks carry color charge — Red, Green, and Blue. Collect three different colors to form a color-neutral Baryon.
Watch out for Matter–Antimatter Annihilation, which sends you to the Containment Field.
Win by assembling the recipe: 1 Baryon + 1 Lepton + 2 Gauge Bosons.
