§ 01Overview
What is Collider Quest?
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.
