Elementeo, A Chemical Game

Chemists, get your geek on. A 14 year old has created a chemistry based trading card game. From the website:

The game is based on a 121-card deck of chemical elements, compounds and catalysts. Every card has an explanation of the element or compound's uses and chemical properties. For example, the Oxygen card can rust neighboring metal cards and the Copper Conductor card can shock any metals. The oxidation state of an element is used as its attack power, and its physical state determines its movement on the board. The goal of the game is to reduce the opponents electrons to zero through strategic use of each card's chemical properties.

Not sure I'll ever play this, but it sure sounds interesting. Looking through the Elementeo website, I'm having a little trouble working out the relationships between the materials and their listed oxidation states, but it still sounds cool.
