  Quark Wars is an all-new, adventure style game. We recommended playing it
outdoors. Quark Wars is modeled upon the outdoor game called Hungarian Number
War, with notable influence from Star Wars, the American epic space saga. The
players form two opposing teams. Both teams elect their own leader. The team
members and their leaders wear particle war bonnets on their foreheads. These
headdresses consist of three or four cards indicating combinations of
elementary particles. The two teams compete by identifying (reading out loudly)
the elementary particle cards on the foreheads of their adversaries. Players
are allowed to use the terrain to cover their particle identity on their
foreheads and may try to hide, run, or band together in a group to win. Quark
Wars was tested at a Summer Camp of Berze Science Club in Hungary. Students
loved playing Quark Wars, as this game resulted in lots of hilarity and action.
In addition, Quark Wars also solidified particle terminology and made the
concept of particle identification and discovery more tangible to
secondary/middle school students.
