Grab your gloves and your lab coat and prepare to explore chemistry, zoology, botany, and astronomy in this ultimate science showdown.

Grab your gloves and your lab coat and prepare to explore chemistry, zoology, botany and astronomy in this ultimate science showdown

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Grab your gloves and your lab coat and prepare to explore chemistry, zoology, botany, and astronomy in this ultimate science showdown.

Did you know that Planet Earth is bigger than Mars? Or that you brushed your teeth with a chemical element this morning? Can you name a plant that eats insects? How about an animal that is louder than a jet engine?

In Bigger Than This, the four suits have been replaced by four different fields of science - chemistry, zoology, botany, and astronomy. Collect cards by asking your opponents for cards that are either bigger than or smaller than one of the science elements in your hand. If your opponent can't satisfy your request, you'll win the round.

Keep an eye out for the eight wildcards that will cause a malfunction in the lab - they really throw a spanner in the works!
