Quark Junior is a science-themed card game where players take on the role of young scientists building matter from the ground up. Through a card draft, players collect Quarks (Up and Down) and Electrons, place them strategically in their Quantum Reactor to form Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons, and finally synthesize atoms such as Hydrogen, Carbon, or Iron.
The goal is to complete Molecule Objective cards to earn Victory Points (VP). Each objective requires a specific combination of atoms. After 5 rounds, the player with the most VP wins the game.
The game combines draft, resource management, and set collection mechanics, offering an accessible yet strategic experience for 2 to 4 players.
