Science related games on BGA?

Post by bongobot »

I work at a marketing agency focused on life sciences where we are all remote. I would like to put together a game night and with games that are science themed or related to science. I have Evolution and Wingspan on my list. Are there other games that might be science-y on BGA that people recommend?

Ark Nova is about zoo management in an ethical fashion.
Terraforming Mars is well, about Terraforming Mars and at least pseudo-scientific.

Science themed games often tend to be rather complex, which might not suit to your friends. Therefore I group my suggestions depending on game rules complexity:

Light:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... atthestars (astronomy)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=expeditions (histoy, culture, geography)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=timelinetwist (history)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=inventors (inventors)

Medium:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=pandemic (research, medicine) - cooperative
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=undergrove (biology)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=quirkyquarks (nuclear physics)

Heavy:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=beyondthesun (technological development)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=newton (research)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=earth (biology)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... ughtheages (history)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... esnewstory (history)
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=daybreak (ecology, climate protection)

If you focus on logic, you might also look for deduction games: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36356

Not about science, but nature related, I highly recommend https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=cubirds (light) and https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=forestshuffle (medium).

No, I didn't. Gizmos is an abstract engine builder, in which I don't see any science. But thanks for reading and commenting my list :-)

Gizmos is about putting together the best gizmo in your lab for the upcoming science fair. It uses energies, Heat (Red), Electric
(Yellow), Atomic (Blue), and Battery (Black).
