    I’d bring my wife and kids over to play some of those games with you and your wife. Sounds like a fun time.

    I forgot to mention that it wouldn’t be any time soon since we live in Florida currently.

    The drawings of “Women in Science” is pretty weird and to be honest ugly. I think it is a very nice idea but the execution needs to be better. We have “Good night stories for rebel girls” which overlaps a lot with the people represented in these cards but the drawings are absolutely fantastic and they are done by many different artists.

    Downloaded the “Women in Science” kit. Gad to see the Australian palaeontologist, Dorothy Hill included. Her work on Australian fossil corals and compilation and authorship of two coral volumes of the “Treatise of Invertebrate Palaeontology” was foundational to so many postgrad theses including my own. Sadly her impressive research collection and personal library entrusted to the University of Queensland were turned upside down and sent into disarray thanks to “rationalisation” by the Uni’s bean counters.

    One really good science-related card game, played with a standard pack, is Eleusis. It’s about discovering natural laws. Play it, and your respect and admiration for scientists who discovered real ones will increase by leaps and bounds.
