Here I go. Jumping in.

This is my first post for The Particle Physics Card Game.

Since I have you here, allow me to explain… .

I had the idea to create a card game some time ago. I guess I grew up playing card games. To this day I have always liked card games: Cribbage, Rummy, Uno… you name it!

Card games are ubiquitous, they are everywhere!

Everyone in the world likely plays a similar version of the games you have already played; people already play different versions of that game you have probably already know… it’s pretty much the same game, played differently.

So, I decided to create a card game about particle physics, because that’s a subject that I know a few things about.

As the idea came to me, I knew that I wanted to create a fun and simple game… with the following objectives:

1. it could be played by anyone
2. it would be fun to play
3. it would also be educational, by illuminating concepts of particle physics

The Particle Physics Card Game is my solution!

A bit of background…

Physics, is daunting at best to most people. I know this better than most because I am a physicist.

I learned early that physics is not exactly a subject of conversation that everyone wants to engage in. I let my curiosity prevail despite some uncomfortable moments sharing my academic interests, and well, the rest is a personal story…

I’m happy to say that to the present day, my choice to pursue a career in physics has been a good one.

So here I am, having created this card game… somehow an extension of my continued passion for physics and science and my desire to interact with people in a positive way.

Games are an excellent way to enjoy time with friends, family, and anyone…

I hope you will have fun playing The Particle Physics Card Game as much as I have had in creating it.
